Bypass congress entirely. Bypass all the pork entirely. Get the job done.

As much as I would love this, Congress does control the budget. I bet some "loopholes" could be found though...

Upon further inspection... the US Department of the Treasury is under the Executive Branch.

Theoretically, he could order that checks be given directly to the People. Very interesting.

Pass an EO saying that Presidents can pass financial EOs during pandemics and then pass this EO.

In all seriousness though, EOs are dangerous in general. I fear them with a democrat in power.

It should be that EOs can be done immediately but then congress must follow up with a ruling on the EO at a later date, so you can still get emergency action done same day, but it’s not unlimited power bypassing the separation of powers

If you're a scared little wu-flu pussy, you can stay in your basement in your little face diaper.
