How would he have done it, after 2010 when Congress turned Republican? The


only method I know for the executive to act without budget authority from Congress would have been declaring an emergency.

Although Trump has certainly attempted to expand the concept of "emergency" (see, "wall") I don't think it would have flown during the Obama administration in the absence of an actual pandemic.
