WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President Donald Trump has signed a $900 billion pandemic relief package that will deliver long-sought cash to businesses and individuals. It also averts a government shutdown.
Two people familiar with the president’s action tell The Associated Press that the president has signed the measure. They are not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and requested anonymity.
The massive bill includes $1.4 trillion to fund government agencies through September and contains other end-of-session priorities such as money for cash-starved transit systems and an increase in food stamp benefits.
Democrats are promising more aid to come once President-elect Joe Biden takes office, but Republicans are signaling a wait-and-see approach.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below.
The fate of an end-of-year COVID-19 relief and spending bill remained in doubt Sunday as millions lost unemployment aid, the government barreled toward a mid-pandemic shutdown and lawmakers implored President Donald Trump to act.
Trump blindsided members of both parties and upended months of negotiations when he demanded last week that the package — already passed the House and Senate by large margins and believed to have Trump’s support — be revised to include larger relief checks and scaled-back spending.
If he continues his opposition, the federal government will run out of money at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday while he spends the holidays golfing in Florida.

And you’re an idiot, as you show over and over.
Would love to defend you but you give no one a chance.
You insist upon stupidity uber alles!
What lies are you sourcing LOL!
Yeah, you won’t tell.
After all you’re so much wiser than Freepers LOL!
Well I read USC 2 section 683. Because of the late date this will be taken up by the new Congress and the 45 day clock starts 4 January 2021. The appropriate committees have 25 days to debate and discharge the petition. Each chamber has 45 days to act, if they do not act after 45 days the money has to be obligated.
So,Trump caved. Nothing will be done, the RINOS if still in charge will not approve additional money over the $600. If the Dems take the Senate, maybe. But neither the House or Senate are going to rescind anything from a budget they approved already.
You cannot continue to indefinitely provide foreclosures and eviction protection while people run up huge debts they can never pay. The $2000 will solve nothing. It will not in most cases cover months of back payments and penalties. But it builds on a debt our government cannot pay. Trump had them by the balls and he let go. What part of that do you disagree with and why?
’ So I asked if the redline expires when the Congress adjourns sine die does the 45 days expire”
Of course not, Only an idiot would ask if a law is not a law.
If you’d act like a normal person you’d be treated as one here.

I am only asking because it was a valid question and your answer is still fucking arrogant. When Congress adjourns sine die, bills die and have to be reintroduced. I was asking if that affected the redline. The question was does action under the Impound Act die and have to then be reintroduced when Congress adjourns. You act like you are the resident Free Republic expert so why not just answer my question instead of being an ass. I am not sure at this point you even knew the answer, because your comment about “if a law is not a law.” The below is from the Congressional Institute:
‘For example, a law or congressional rule could say that the House must vote on X bill within seven days. However, if that bill becomes available two days before a sine die adjournment, there will be five unconsumed days. The final sine die adjournment of a Congress would make this especially problematic, since the next session would be that of a different Congress, meaning the original bill would not be available for their consideration. When confronted with a situation where a sine die adjournment would interrupt a timetable for considering a bill, there are a number of ways Congress could remedy the problem. For example, it could say that a sine die adjournment TERMINATES the timetable. Or a law that establishes expedited procedures could allow for the next, new Congress to begin the time period in question again.”
It may not be as cut and dry as you seem to think. The Impound Act allows for it to be taken up by the next Congress, but it is possible for Congress say sine die terminates the rescission because it did not meet the time table in USC 2. Trump has to process the message through the Comptroller General by Saturday if I read the Act correctly. Since USC Title Code 2 is not generally what people keep on their nightstand for reading either you were familiar with Title 2 and we're just being an ass or you had no idea and assumed that everything carries over to the next Congress, in which case you were still being an ass.
“When Congress adjourns sine die, bills die”
But not laws.
End.
What law are you referring to? The impound Act? Because that is the only law in play here.
Must be difficult for you to,stop being an asshole.
End
Showing them he has his finger on the spigot and can shut it off, but the 600 one-time check remains more insult than assistance.
I trust Trump made the best deal possible and will wait to hear from him before rendering judgment. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The Senate is supposed to vote in a $2000.00 and $600.00 per child on Monday. Now if it does not pass the Senate do you think that Georgia will gop Republ;ican?I am not so sure Trump will go to Georgia and pull the run off out of Mitch’s ass , where it now resides.
So what congress owns the bill...people never get mad at their own congressman they only get mad at the other congressmen
There’s not much time left anyway, so what does it matter? All they have to do is wait a few more weeks and then they can vote for even more.
So, was it phony?
2nd term - denial is common in these parts.
Was it AP?
Foreign aid money is supported to be in a separate, traditional Foreign Aid package that the House committees submit to the Senate for review, modification, rejection or passage. Then it goes to the president to sign.
This is PORKULOUS RIDICULOUS.
The key thing here is that the unemployed get extended benefits and extended eviction protection. What local jurisdictions have to do is to reduce their mandatory tax payments (mine are every quarter, on the house/land and a separate car tax towards the end of the year. I pay more in those taxes than I do both federal and state taxes combines [and this are more reasonable/affordable]).
You can’t pay taxes if you don’t have the money, something almost all Democrat ruined local governments refuse to acknowledge.
That is where the President should kick some balls with a speech that streams fire and brimstone.
Umm try again.
“Umm try again.”
Can you name any concessions he got? I see where he got promises that most likely won’t be kept.
