PRESIDENT PLEDGES TO SLASH INCOME TAXES | THE DOUBLE EDGED SWORD | GOP / DEM REACTION | WHAT TO KNOW

The president said that if he wins reelection, he would seek to extend the deferral and somehow “terminate” the taxes that are owed. The payroll tax funds Social Security and Medicare benefits, and it’s unclear where those programs will get funding if the taxes are deferred. The President also said he would reduce income taxes.

Ben Sasse – Republican lawmaker from Nebraska – said ““The pen-and-phone theory of executive lawmaking is unconstitutional slop. President Obama did not have the power to unilaterally rewrite immigration law with DACA, and President Trump does not have the power to unilaterally rewrite the payroll tax law.”

He said Trump is violating the Constitution: “President Trump does not have the power to unilaterally rewrite the payroll tax law. Under the Constitution, that power belongs to the American people acting through their members of Congress.”

US Representative Justin Amash from Michigan said “Our Constitution doesn’t authorize the president to act as king whenever Congress doesn’t legislate.”

Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham (R) offered less harsh comments, saying that while he appreciated the president’s orders, he “would much prefer a congressional agreement.”

Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), blamed Democrats for failing to reach an agreement, but indicated he didn’t support the president circumventing Congress.

“The president is doing all he can to help workers, students and renters, but Congress is the one who should be acting,” Alexander said in a statement.

“These policy announcements provide little real help to families,” Pelosi and Schumer said. “Instead of passing a bill, now President Trump is cutting families’ unemployment benefits and pushing states further into budget crises, forcing them to make devastating cuts to life-or-death services.”

“This scheme is a classic Trump con: play-acting at leadership while robbing families of the support they need,” Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) wrote on Twitter. “This ‘plan’ fails to reinstate supercharged unemployment, and would throw already overburdened state programs into chaos, making it harder to get benefits out the door.”
