During the Bush Administration, Harry Reid kept the Senate in pro forma session during breaks in order to prevent President Bush from making recess appointments. If the rules allow it, the Republicans should do likewise. Sauce for the goose, sauce for the gander.

One problem returning the favor - the Republicans would have to run the Senate in order to do that. Dingy was leader of the Senate when he did the pf sessions.

Perhaps, but I don’t know the rules well enough to be sure. On procedural matters the Senate ordinarily acts by unanimous consent. The Republicans could object to a motion to stand in recess.
