President Trump is considering executive action and exploring other legal options to place the controversial citizenship question on the 2020 census, according to senior administration officials.One senior administration official confirmed the White House is looking into different legal avenues aside from a potential executive order.

Organized labor membership has been on a consistent decline for decades. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 12 percent of American workers were in a union at the end of 2006, down from 12.5 percent in the previous year.

President Obama needs to stop negotiating with Republicans and start stanley cup leading, Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner of New York said this morning on CBS The Early Show. Mr. Obama s tentative deal with Republicans to temporarily extend all of the Bush tax cuts -- even for the wealthiest Americans -- has angered many in the president s party. Many of us believe the pres stanley italia ident just didn t fight hard enough for a good deal, Weiner told Early Show anchor Erica Hill. The plan would extend tax cuts for the middle class -- which both parties wanted -- but also for the top two percent of income earners, which Democrats have said would cost too much. The package deal also extends unemployment insurance, which pleased Democrats, and it establishes a relatively low rate for the es stanley cup tate tax. Economists largely agree the plan should spur the economy, but liberals maintain the president s concessions to Republicans will not help. All those predictions about how much economic growth will be created by this, all of those new jobs, would be created by the things we wanted -- the extension of unemployment insurance and middle class tax cuts, Weiner said. An estate tax for millionaires adds exactly zero jobs. A tax cut for billionaires -- virtually none.

Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry said Tuesday that President Bush failed to present a true picture of Iraq to the United Nations and does not have the credibility to lead the world.
