In a first for a sitting president, the Journal of the American Medical Association published a scholarly article on Monday by "Barack Obama, J.D." that examines the passage of his landmark health law, the Affordable Care Act, and proposes future improvements to the U.S. health care system.
Bernie Sanders, as part of his Democratic presidential campaign, has been calling for an expansion of Social Security benefits, and President Obama joined the chorus this week.
Workers who earn as much as $970 a week would have to be paid overtime even if theyre classified as a manager or professional, according to a plan outlined by the Department of Labor on Tuesday.
President Barack Obama is dropping his proposal to tax the earnings on college savings accounts, responding to criticism of an idea the White House announced 10 days ago.
After a televised address last night outlining his actions, Obama planned to travel today to Nevada, a state with a fast-growing Hispanic population emblematic of Latinos rising political power in presidential battleground states.
Obamas unilateral action, circumventing a deadlocked Congress, promises to remove the immediate risk of deportation for 4 million to 5 million undocumented immigrants and initiate a showdown with congressional Republicans.
Obamas pending executive action, which could be announced as early as tomorrow, would expand eligibility for his 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program that has given protection to 600,000 child immigrants.
