The president, who has the power under the Constitution to keep Congress in session, said lawmakers cannot leave for their August recess this weekend as planned unless they "pass a bill that will give our intelligence community the tools they need to protect the United States."

Gotta love it! ;)

This is a serious hole in our intelligence gathering that needs to be fixed ASAP. I’m glad the President is putting the screws to Congress on this.

I elected representatives to work... Any Congressman going on vacation while the President waits for laws that strengthen homeland security should be impeached.
