“With the Thanksgiving break looming, the administration informed me that they would make several recess appointments,” Reid said. “I indicated I would be willing to confirm various appointments if the administration would agree to move on Democratic appointments.

“They would not make that commitment.”

It has been normal protocol for the WH to let the Senate leaders know that he was going to make recess appointments and who the would be. Apparently this was done for this upcoming break and Reid isn’t in agreement on some of them and also wants some democrat appointees approved to some executive branch departments.

This sounds like a neogiating ploy by Reid...... we’ll see.

Wouldn’t that poor woman clerk who calls the roll be required to be on duty all the time.....no holiday for HER and her family? (Does Saturday and Sunday also count for Congress still being in session?)

Only the president can make appointments.

What part of “it’s unconstitutional, you moron” doesn’t he understand?
