What gives with the lack of recess appointments?
Congress never formally goes on recess. Deliberately.
The obstructionist Republicans have made sure to not allow this president to make use of this power.
I don’t think the Senate has gone into recess.
Sometimes Trump forgets he’s the Chief Executive.
Congressional Democrats and Republicans ensured Congress never went on recess to prevent Trump from making those kind of appointments.
Sessions? *groan*
Sticking Ivanka and Jared in there? *puke* and * barf-o-rama*
Moochie, who lasted what...10 days? *vomit*
And on and on and on and on; we all know this list.
Maybe hes saving himself for a big one.
Arent they all on recess over the holidays!!! FIRE Wray and appoint someone!!{
Two words- Mitch McConnell
He keeps the Senate in session over the “recesses” using some kind of parliamentary procedures germane to the august body. /s “snort”
I dont think Congress went into full recess during the Obama years. Pretty sure they havent in a long time. They leave a candle burning in the Senate.
Trump has had the longest waits for non-judicial appointments of any previous president. This only adds to the difficulty of getting good people willing to serve in his administration.... one of the swamp's evil goals
I dearly love this president, but I’d like to give you a long list of the 1,219 reasons why I disagree with him.
Nah, I’ll spare you
I wish others would be as kind.
I think he is using his daughter and son in law because he is use to family members running his business, and he keeps appointing these losers because he is naive about just how corrupt Washington is, it’s unbelievable.
They are adjourned. There is a technical difference. I think.
I know that they used to have a senator go into the chamber every once in a while and call them into session. This was to prevent Obama from being able to appoint anyone.
Dont think theyve stopped. Remember, because of the rolling terms the Senate does not have different Congresses.
if they are not recessed, he should call the congress to an emergency meeting Dec 25.
Recess has another issue. Going on recess makes Congress eligible to be arrested for the many crimes that some have engaged in. I think the Turtle holds this over the heads of the dems when required.
Since President Trump was inaugurated, Mitch McConnell has never put the senate into a recess,, in order to deliberately take this power away from President Trump.
Who needs ‘em? Trump is able to accomplish more with fewer people than all of his predecessors. He and his family members are also working for free.
We’re in favor of smaller government, right?
Let Trump be Trump.
