The U.S. Congress continues to struggle to move forward on the next phase of stimulus payment to help millions of Americans. The details of the next stimulus payment should be released before Congress ends their session on August 7.

As the days progress, PresidentTrump is considering signing an executive order for the immediate implementation of the next phase of stimulus payment if Congress fails to act. This is to ensure that Americans and immigrants qualified for the program will receive the aid this month amid the global pandemic.

Pres. Trump said, "They're not interested in the people, they're not interested in unemployment. They're not interested in evictions -- which is a big deal. The evictions -- they want to evict a lot of people," Trump added that people would get evicted if the stimulus payment will not be passed immediately. To address this problem, he will do everything to stop house eviction by signing an executive order. 

Even though it is not clear if Pres. Trump would include all programs in the HEALS Act, but he is keenly focused on unemployment benefits and protections for homeowners and renters. As the $600 weekly unemployment benefit expired last week, many Americans are now waiting for the next round of stimulus payment.

A senior administration official told the ABC News that a Unilateral action or signing an executive order would be the option if the Democrats continue to give more reasons not to act on the Republican-led HEALS Act.

Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and the President's Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows, did not give any comments when asked on Monday from the Capitol Hill about any possible executive order related to the stimulus payment. 

The U.S. Congress has been struggling to reconcile some of the provisions in the Republican-led HEALS Act for weeks. The most controversial provision in the proposed next relief payment cuts down the weekly $600 to $200. 

The $600 weekly unemployment payment had already expired last week, and Democrat lawmakers wanted it to be expanded. However, the Republican lawmakers wanted it to cut down into $200, but those who will go back to work will receive an additional bonus on top of the unemployment payment, which is more advantageous. 

Republicans firmly believed that if they push through with the $600 weekly unemployment, many Americans will not go back to work but depend on the weekly aid. However, if they will cut it down to $200 and add bonuses to those who will go back to work, it will be more beneficial for the Americans and the country.

Meanwhile, the country's highest officials from the Democrats and Republicans met on Monday to finalize the provisions of the HEALS Act. Everyone is hoping that the details of the next stimulus will be released on Friday. Or the President himself will sign an executive order to implement the stimulus payment immediately.
