interesting new ad from a republican PAC. Not that trumpians have a double standard or anything but I recall their outrage and angst over Obama's attempts to become king.
Imagine your response if Obama had declared that he was going to shut down Congress if he didn't get appointees confirmed.
ROFL. From the other thread on this two hours ago. Mhmm. "If Trump's claims are correct, that Executive appointments are EVER held up for multiple YEARS, and it doesn't matter what Administration, what POTUS, and who's to blame, Obama, Bush, whomever, that **** needs to stop right now. Just another reason why the federal government should be pruned down to about 20% of what it has become. No way would ANY private sector company with accountability to a board or shareholders get away with this kind of incompetence and ****ery. So, yeah, if that is really going on? Shut it down/saber rattle, and every POTUS who ever faces this in the future of either party should also shut it down. To the topic, Trump is just jawboning on adjournment. The next step is trying to tie to Congressional delays to lost American lives, and he is warning them that he is considering it. Use the decoder ring."
No. Trump has staked out a perfectly reasonable position. Justices Breyer and Scalia wrote that the President could use the adjournment power to block Senate “intransigence.” While no President has ever used the adjournment power, it's Constitutional, not novel. In that case, the Obama Administration asked the Supreme Court to view the recess-appointment power as a “safety valve” against Senatorial “intransigence.” The majority opinion by Justice Breyer rejected that position. Breyer explained that the President has other trump cards at his disposal: namely, the adjournment power. . . . Justice Scalia concurred, joined by Chief Justice Roberts, Justice Thomas, and Justice Alito. They made a very similar position: the President’s friends in Congress could help trigger an adjournment. . . . All 9 Justices seemed to agree that the adjournment power could be used to facilitate recess appointments.” See why it's important to research things rather than just spew what the idiots in fake news media are spraying?
