Regular pol republican leaders seem not to want a comstitutionally-functioning executive branch.
That’s uniparty for ya.
Theoretically, he could recess-appoint two extra SCOTUS justices, too. The heat from exploding libtard heads could kill off most of the CV-19 viruses.
It’s a power that has never been used, and likely to be challenged to the Supreme Court. However, the Constitution didn’t really lay out exceptions or waivers. He could dismiss them all the way through til election-day, and make the day-to-day drama in DC rapidly downsize.
It does make one ponder how the Sunday talk-shows would function with no active drama going on.
He will do it too.
He’s going to have his boots planted so far up the democrats asses you’ll see the toes sticking out of their mouths by the time he gets through.
When anyone else says this, we yawn.... Pres Trump says it and if they don’t move on it.... he will!!
The reason I voted for him... fast and furious.... that’s what I wanted...
Day by day it becomes more obvious if we want a functional America ALL Democrats must be removed from power.
Lying stupidity. Trump’s power, now, is to convene the Congress- not to adjourn them.
They desperately don’t want to be convened.
You know what would be a hoot?
If he were to read an Americanized version of Cromwell’s speech.
Talk about exploding heads!!
“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.”
The president’s power to adjourn Congress is dependent upon disagreement between the two houses regarding the time of adjournment. Nothing to do with his own personal needs for appointments. If the House is adjourned more than three days and the Senate consented to it, then there’s no disagreement.
Bkmk
I think that Trump is reaching the limits of his acceptance to “play nice.”
The other day he commented that Mutiny on the Bounty was a favorite movie of his. The message to Nancy and Chuck was clear......get with the program or I will consider this a mutiny.
Now he has told them to shape up or he will take control.
We need a President like Trump to shake up both Republicans and Democrats so that we start to get bipartisan legislation and focusing on the real problems.
Go Trump.
Sock it to ‘em, baby! Love our President!!!
The dems/media created a HUGH national emergency out of the flu, and now Prez Trump is “not going to let a good crisis go to waste.”
He fooled them again.
Adjourn congress Mr. President. Apparently the Speaker of the House is only interested in shopping.
Do it ASAP.
Both Houses of Congress are not adjourned and they are both holding pro forma sessions at the current time. “Either house can hold a pro forma session at which no formal business is expected to be conducted. This is usually to fulfill the obligation under the Constitution “that neither chamber can adjourn for more than three days without the consent of the other.” Pro forma sessions can also be used to prevent the President pocket-vetoing bills, or calling the Congress into special session. Pro forma sessions have also been used to prevent presidents from making recess appointments.
In 2012 Obama attempted to make four appointments during a pro forma session, calling the practice of blocking recess appointments into question However, in 2014 the Supreme Court determined that the President had improperly used his presidential power to make these appointments, stating that while the Senate was in recess punctuated by pro forma sessions the period of time between the sessions was not long enough to invoke such power.”—Wikipedia
Great article
Thanks for posting
Please do not threaten and warn.
Just do it.
Precisely why he was hired by We the People!!!
Change the Senate rules. Go nuclear. They would do it to us. Then Schumer is irrelevant.
My answer to anyone who asks me “What do you think of President Trump?”
I always answer “I love him more today than yesterday!”
Why not just change the senate rules or will people like Collins and Romney object.
