Congress, should do what Reid did to Bush by staying in session a little longer so he couldn’t get any recess appointments. Obama would have to either sign or veto the legislation. Or Obama could go play with Reggie or golf or vice versa. Congress could stay in session for possibly 10 working days to cover legislation that passed right before the scheduled recess. So Obama gets ixnay on pocket veto.
Reid controls the Senate calendar until January. The Senate approves nominations. Perhaps Reid will take the Senate out of session in mid December so Obama can make hundreds of recess appointments.
