[Republican Wildcat]

He certainly does keep the Senate in session even when they leave for break. This hasn’t been done to any other President before and it’s being done by a Republican. Why won’t he call a recess?

With all due respect, not a single word of that is accurate. Not a single word. The Senate is always being kept in pro-forma session by the minority. They started doing this after Bush mad some recess appointments during his administration. McConnell has no power to stop that, just like Harry Reid had no power to stop McConnell from keeping it in session during Obama's administration to block Obama from making recess appointments. There was a massive scandal during the Obama administration where he unilaterally declared that the Senate was not actually in session under his own power and made recess appointments - one of the worst power grabs in history. It was one of the most explosive stories discussed here on FR at the time. McConnell filed suit and it went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which slapped Obama down 9-0, declared the appointments illegal, null and void, and declared all actions they took to be null and void. You really don't remember that? You were here during all of that time.
