This move by the Senate might be good. I don’t think that Sessions is going anywhere, anyway. But this move by Senators has tipped their hand, and perhaps they can “enjoy” some feedback from conservative constituents during the break.

They make it easier every day for us to figure out who will be walked to the gallows.

How can they block him if they’re in recess? Why aren’t all Presidents blocked from making recess appointments?

The Constitution is pretty clear - Article 2, Section 2, Third Claus grants the president the power to make recess appointments. It doesn’t mention any power of the Senate to block this right. The resolution is patently unconstitutional and would quickly be struck down.

Politically, though, doing so might create acrimonious relations between the Congress and the White House...

More fake news.

The senate NEVER really goes into recess, but “lro firma” sessions on occasions like this. One senator reads ir says something every day.

Against Zero, he tried to claim ‘recess’, the Senate said “pro forma” & USSC ruled for GOP.

Unanimous vote of the Senate.

When was the vote taken?
Does anyone know?

It’s either a recess or it isn’t. If it is, then Trump has the authority to call them back to work. If it isn’t, then they should be at work and not on a 5 week vacation.

The Senate unanimously agreed to block President Trump from making appointments during their August break

Doesn't keep him from firing anyone he wants to and he better start soon.

This just proves that the eGOP is not listening to us when we elected Trump.

The eGOP is dead to me. Well, they have been since before the election when they tried to get Hillary elected.

The smart ass losers can’t get anything done themselves and they do not want the President to accomplish anything either, while they are off vacationing on the taxpayer’s dime.
