The action is perfectly legal. Also, found the following from 2011 when the Daily Beast wants Obama to Adjourn Congress so Obama could make recess appointments. Will be interesting to see if the Daily Beast says it is illegal if Trump does it. Here is the link:

What is McConnell’s reasoning for allowing this to get this far? He is complicit in tying Trump’s hands. What will Mitch say about this?
To: bobsunshine
He criticized the Senate and House for holding “phony” pro forma sessions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The GOP Senate is run by Mitch, even before Pelosi took over the House the GOP House was hamstringing President Trump.

...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... I don't think the problem is a disagreement between the House and Senate on adjourning.
To: bobsunshine
Outstanding, isn’t it? He called Pelosi’s bluff beautifully.

Mitch McConnell could recess the Senate and allow trump to make Senate appointees. No input from Nancy. This is 100% at Mitch’s feet. He started this bullshit back in 2017 when they were pretending Trump was a Russian spy

Not only is it perfectly legal for a president to adjourn Congress but very much needed in these times and in the future to make appointments and enact laws.
To: bobsunshine
I hope somebody in the administration read my post, lol. I just said the other day Trump should use his constitutional power to do it.
Send Nancy Peelosi back to San Francisco (or rather ultra-rich Marin county) for a while.

It was illegal - Separation of Powers - and when Obama did it and the Senate sued and the case went all the way to the Supreme Court, Obama lost 9-0 - his illegal recess appointments were declared null and void, as well as any and all actions they took while they were illegally in office. It was one of the most frightening power grabs in history - do we not remember that?
To: bobsunshine
Good! Do it! Then we’ll really see the Dems’ panties get in a twist!
