GOP Massie says “recess appointments” when asked if GAETZ can get confirmed by the Senate
“He’s the Attorney General. Suck it up!”
BOOM BABY1
No he is not. I think a pres-elect cannot do anything like recess appointments.
You would be wrong, he can time the appt whenever he likes and if rejected he can re appt during recess.
Which btw Thine has at least said verbally he will support recess appts.
So this may be one reason trump wanted green light on recess appointments by new senate majority leader?
Oh yeah? Like in the first term when McConnell refused to play. Thune will be different? I’ll believe it when I see it.
Recess appointments are limited in time and do not exercise the full powers of the office.
Oh, please yes.
But wasn’t there some sort of limit on such appointments?
Thune
Just what I was thinking/trying to recall.
I suppose could be renewed?
But still...
There is no limit in power to a recess appt and a recess appt can last almost 2 years, look it up :)
Yes they have full powers, but limited time.
Thune will be as bad if not worse than the turtle,
so I doubt he will green light recess appointments.
Same to the FR pearl clutchers
Hope it's wrong, but I'm hearing through the grapevine about this bonkers plan: Trump would adjourn both Houses of Congress under Article II, section 3, and then recess-appoint his Cabinet.
As predicate for Trump's exercise of adjournment power, one House of Congress would seek other House's consent to adjourn and be denied. So Speaker of House would need to be complicit in evisceration of Senate's advice-and-consent role.
House Speaker Mike Johnson needs to say NO to this right away.
Massie is still the best Congressman in the entire House.
In 24 hours they turned from lap cats to attack dogs.
First....Thune has to CALL FOR THE RECESS!! IF he DOESN’T RECESS, TRUMP CAN’T DO IT!!
Thw Republican party that just won a majority because of Trump’s historic landslide will be asked to reject DNI, AG and SOD of the incoming President. Those consecutive votes aren’t going to be easy 🤣
Yep. The senate can put up or shut up.
