(FALLS CHURCH, Va.) — Whether President Donald Trump has the constitutional authority to extend federal unemployment benefits by executive order remains unclear.

Trump announced an executive order Saturday that extends additional unemployment payments of up to $400 a week to help cushion the economic fallout of the pandemic.
