President Donald Trump declined to sign the coronavirus relief and stimulus bill on Saturday evening as he pushed for higher stimulus payments of $2000 rather than $600, meaning millions of Americans would exhaust their unemployment benefits.

Two unemployment benefits programs expired at midnight on Sunday morning, as the Wall Street Journal noted:

I believe Trump is slow walking the bill. As long as he hasn't vetoed it, CONgress critters can't do a vote over ride of a Veto, right?

So he hasn't vetoed it, and he hasn't approved it......he is keeping it in suspense.

Now supposedly Piglosi will introduce on Monday (tomorrow) a stand alone bill that will give all Americans $2,000. However she drafted it to be approved by unanimous vote. So if only one Commie says "nay", then the bill is sunk.

I believe Trump is able (and has done before) an Exec Order to extend unemployment benefits again.

So there are ways around CONgressional Fraud Bill.
