I recommend reading the source document. The press will have CONNIPTIONS over this. Get popcorn ready.
It all sounds quite arcane but one thing is certain, the ‘rats don’t play by the rules, arcane or otherwise.
I’d love to hear what Ted Cruz has to say about this. Like him or not, he’s got a sharp mind when it comes to constitutional matters.
If he actually has the power to adjourn Congress, then he should do that until there is an extraordinary reason for Congress to be called back into session. What a way to cut new legislation, regulations (after the new legislation gives deep staters the right to regulate), and spending. Then he can proceed to shut down major portions of government. I’m having a nocturnal ...
I googled and just found this document also just after the President made his statement.
That just overrides the date specified in the main Constitutional text. Is this a conflict?
Wait a minute. Are both houses technically in recess? If so, time for recess appointments! THAT will get them to drag their lazy carcasses back to work. LOL!
Yes he does have the authority to adjourn congress.
If they do not agree to come into session, or agree to adjourn, he may do so and run the country under existing laws afforded to him.
It has never been done before, but it is high time it is done now since the scum bitch from the Frisco area is playing her little cute games.
The opinion cited allows the President to convene a Congress.
President Trump is trying to do the opposite, adjourn the Congress.
You need to cite an opinion or ruling allowing him to formally adjourn, not convene.
I hope there is such a court ruling.
GET BACK TO WORK!!! Even Michigan is out for another 10 DAYS!!! THIS IS A WAR!!! GET BACK TO WORK!!
Trump might as well shoot the moon. The dems/stooge press can’t afford any distraction to their Wuhan plague mega smear against Trump. They might mention this for a day or two but it will continue to be the full court press on Trump’s caronavirus massacre.
Here.
Pay attention to the little numbers aside some of the sentences. Click on them and they will give you more information.
Didn’t Lincoln dismiss it?
Section 3
He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper; he shall receive Ambassadors and other public Ministers; he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States.
I guess it is good that there will not be any more Shenanigans by Pelosi or Schumer. The added bonus of being capable of a recess appointment should Ruthie expire during the recess. Up till now, McConnell had been keeping the Senate technically in session.
When I read this, an old quote came to mind: “The threat is stronger than the execution.” This feels so much like a President Trump move to get his enemies and roadblocks to make a move they’ll live to regret or die trying. Gonna need MORE popcorn!
Really can’t name one thing Congress has done to help AMERICANS and America in this whole episode. They can all be lined up out front of the Capitol and be tar and feathered for all I care.
And the Turtle’s response?
