Not related to Epstein —

Isn’t there a rule that allows the President to force a recess of one branch of congress if the other branch is already in recess? I think this was discussed a while ago.

If congress is in full recess, Trump might be able to appoint a bunch of people that might not survive regular confirmation.

Thankfully Trump seems to have gotten his way on “controversial” appointees. Even the RIBO-hated Emil Bove seems certain to be confirmed.

The senate has only approved ONE Trump nominee for federal attorney. Prosecuting the traitors needs to be done in a place like Florida. Currently, all of the federal attorneys are Biden appointed.

Recess appointments would cure that situation and Speaker Johnson knows this. Hence, the August recess.

Why would the Executive branch be permitted to interfere the Legislative branch’s internal procedures?
