The Treasury Department said on Tuesday that President Donald Trump's name will appear on every mailed stimulus check, a move that senior IRS officials said would delay at least the first round of paper checks.
The Treasury will print "President Donald J.Trump" on the memo line of every paper check, because only career Treasury Department officials can legally sign the checks, The Washington Post first reported. It will be the first time a president's name has ever appeared on a government payment to the public.
