The President told reporters on Tuesday that he had sought advice from constitutional scholars and still didn't have a complete picture about the chances of the new moratorium passing muster in the courts.
"I can't tell you. I don't know. There are a few scholars who say it will and others who say it's not likely to," the President said.
"But at a minimum, by the time it gets litigated, it will probably give some additional time while we're getting that $45 billion out to people who are in fact behind in the rent and don't have the money."
