Republicans block Obama from recess appointments

[Conservative]

well I guess some presidents just have to run their governments without people.

i guess you're a moronic partisan hack.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 20 — Who says the Senate cannot act quickly? It conducted a full day’s business in less than 30 seconds on Tuesday.

Of course, there was no real business to conduct. But fearing that President Bush would again use a Congressional recess to install disputed executive branch appointees without Senate confirmation, Democrats convened the Senate for the first of four microsessions to be held during the holiday break, precisely to thwart such an end run.

YOU LIE! Only evil Republican baby eaters would stoop so low.

They will be back in September. There really is no need for recess appointments anymore. That was only in there in the first place because the country was so big and travel so hard that calling a meeting for an appointment was difficult. They only met 5 months out of the year anyway.

These days it is a power subject to abuse.

If it was bad in Bush's day, it is bad now.

Considering the games that go on, I would support an amendment to end the practice.

As would I. Both sides have abused it in the past.

 

[Conservative]

They want the "boy king" "Man Child" to fail. Of course, race has nothing to do with it.

In a battle of wits with anyone on this board... you are unarmed.

 

[Salt Jones]

Does the left have such a distorted memory that they forgot the last two years when Obama had a super majority in both houses of congress and appointed a communist to serve on his "green jobs" board? Van Jones was sent packing and there are no green jobs or any other jobs for that matter.

I thought Van Jones was a Socialist racist? Since you people call Obama a Nazi, Socialist, Marxist, Communist, Racist. Why would you be shocked if he appointed a so called Communist?

 

[Conservative]

It is not the same thing.

Bush used recess appointments over and over.


Who blocked him from it?

So... because Obama has not had 8 years yet to use them over and over, he won't and Bush did so he's evil... right?

As of 12/29/2010... Obama had made 28 recess appointments this year. The White House said Bush had made 23 at this point in his presidency.

While on Summer Recess, Congress Blocks Recess Appointments - ProPublica


In an effort to block President Obama from making recess appointments—which the Constitution allows presidents to do—Congressional Republicans have kept Congress technically in session.

The Washington Examiner explains:

The Republican-controlled House used a procedural move to help force this issue. Though it's the Senate that must confirm presidential appointments, under the U.S. Constitution, it cannot adjourn for more than three days without the approval of the House.

So instead of adjourning, both the House and Senate will be conducting what are known as “pro forma” sessions. What that entails, essentially, is having a member of Congress stick around the Capitol to strike the gavel for what are sometimes seconds-long sessions, according to the Examiner.

so they are only violating the constitution in intent not letter?

Too bad the sorry bastards didn't take off this time last week.

Well, since Obama is on record saying he thinks they are a bad thing when Bush did it, I don't think he will mind much.

Also, this is the third thread on this.

Since I have not looked for these can you tell me if this is the third thread started by Truthdoesntmatter on this one topic? If not, I suspect we will have five more by her on this one subject before the week is out.

She probably gets half way through one and forgets what she is doing and then starts another. There's probably about 12 plates of food going at any given point in time in her cave.

Nah, usually she gets her ass handed to her in one form or another so she goes off and tries again hoping that those who taught her a lesson the first time won't follow her again or will simply give up knowing the chances of her admitting she is a partisan hack are about 100,000,000 to 1.
