In tone, message and duration, Tuesday’s briefing was quite a departure from Monday’s combative and lengthy affair.

The president hopes to reopen “beautiful little pieces” of the country sooner than the May 1 deadline his administration has set. He said 20 or more states have only a few cases.

After claiming on Monday nearly unlimited power to compel states to act, a more deferential President Trump said he hopes governors will be “respectful of the presidency.” He said he would authorize governors to implement a re-opening plan at the time and manner of their choosing and if they don’t do a good job, he will “come down on them very hard.”

CBS News Legal Contributor and constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley joins Major to talk about limits on presidential power and states' rights.

The US is also halting payments to the World Health Organization until a review is completed in 60-90 days. Mr. Trump said WHO bungled its response to the outbreak and he is concerned taxpayer dollars are being misused by the multinational organization. He accused WHO of favoring China. “They must be held accountable.”
