First, this could not come to pass with Obama as President. A bill has to pass both legislative bodies and be signed by the President. At this point it won’t pass, but even if it did, O would never sign.

Second, there wouldn’t be all this recess appt. jazz, anyway...if I understand this, Congress would come and get their work done, then go home.

Like in Texas, you don’t consider our reps “in recess” between lawful sessions, because they aren’t. They are either in lawful session, or they are done until the next lawful session.

The way it is now in DC, Congress goes on breaks but is subject to call...therefore is said to be in recess.

This would be very different.

True...and I hadn't thought about it that way.

I just know I like the way we do it.

BTW, I went to a GOP meeting last night. Due to really cold weather we had a small turnout but one of those present was our state representative.

He doesn't live in my county but he has the time to meet with and get feedback from the people who sent him to Austin. BTW, he is recognized as one of the most conservative Republican legislators. He is a young black man, named White, who defeated a long term Democrat ...in Southeast Texas!
