obammy didn't get his either. all we heard about was supreme court pick. and all of his judge nominees were delayed and trump got to nominate them. It happens. obammy spoke into it as well. seems reasonable to me. So you are from the position that we should pay congress to eat, drink and shit and that's it? just curious.
After thinking about it a bit, I'm beginning to agree it was trolling. As a reality tv host, he knows how to get attention. Too bad it makes him look like an uneducated gasbag.
I'm from the position of following the Constitution, which was designed to prevent one branch from becoming overly powerful. The Executive does not have the authority to do what Trump threatened. Are the Dems playing games? Seems so. They're taking hours or days to confirm his appointments instead of voting "in an hour" as Trump would prefer. Yet the Republicans actually made history by refusing to even entertain the nomination of Merrrick Garland, and there were Senators in Congress who openly admitted that they were there to oppose every. single. thing. that President Obama promoted. So I guess it's pretty even steven on that score.
I didn't agree with that. don't know what to tell you.
Umm, they are literally taking multiple years to confirm.
You should have waited for a link because you clearly don't understand what the Const allows him to do, and what it forbids. Ya fucking troll

Actually what Trump is doing is to shut down the Pro Forma Session of Congress. Which means, it is a short period of time when either the House or Senate is technically in legislative session but when no votes are held and no formal business is typically conducted. It is a Latin term meaning “in form only.”
Therefore, at that point the President has the authority to shut it down...

A clash over appointments to executive agencies is brewing after President Trump threatened to invoke an obscure constitutional power to adjourn both chambers of Congress under certain circumstances as a way to allow himself to make recess appointments — filling vacancies in jobs he says are needed to help fight the coronavirus without the advice and consent of the Senate.Presidents have the power under the U.S. Constitution to temporarily fill vacancies while the Senate is out of session, but the body holds what are called "pro forma" sessions – very brief meetings with a skeleton crew that happen when the body is not taking care of legislative business – in order to remain in session, thus blocking recess appointments. Trump wants to use that power to fill vacancies in executive agencies that have been largely neglected by a Senate focused mainly on lifetime judicial appointments....But Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution gives the president the power to "adjourn [Congress] to such Time as he shall think proper," when the House and Senate cannot agree on when to adjourn. Trump said the Senate should stop conducting its pro forma sessions and formally adjourn to allow him to make recess appointments."If the House will not agree to that adjournment I will exercise my constitutional authority to adjourn both chambers of Congress," Trump said. "The current practice of leaving town while conducting phony pro forma sessions is a dereliction of duty that the American people cannot afford during this crisis."
And Trump is 100% correct to do so and when the Democrats scream like hell, just sit back and enjoy the mussic knowing it proves you right.
I guarantee you Progs would do that immedietely if given the opportunity. They are snakes compared to snakes.
Have a nice day!
It’s not unConstitutional.
