House Democrat says President Trump's executive order threats are mostly empty

With President Trump officially stating that he’s exploring the possibility of enacting executive orders for some provisions of the stimulus deal, more lawmakers have cast doubt on his authority to do so.

Representative Dan Kildee (D-MI) said that the president might not be able to do those things unilaterally.

“The president has unique perspectives on the executive authority that he possesses,” Kildee said on Yahoo Finance’s The Final Round. “I don’t think he has the authority to do many of the things he says ... He often stops short of actually taking action.”

Kildee said he hopes that Democrats can rely on Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin “to actually take some serious steps” and for the president to go along.

“I've gotten to the point where I just don't listen to what he says anymore,” Kildee said about Trump. “I only look to his actions and a tweet or a speech doesn't quite make policy.”

He really should admit that Garfield Goose was the only real King of the United States.

Everybody knows THAT.
