I don't recall that in the Constitution. Can you point it out, please? Kthnxbai.They don't have to agree to a Senate recess that is shorter than 3 days.
You'll have to forgive me for my ultra-liberal interpretation of the Constitution, but my reading of this:
Neither House, during the Session of Congress, shall, without the Consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days, nor to any other Place than that in which the two Houses shall be sitting.
suggests to me that it is in fact OK for the Senate to adjourn for 3 days or less without the consent of the House. Am I wrong?
Yes. For over 200 years it has been understood to mean that neither house can RECESS without the other. NO President has EVER violated that concept. EVER. Until now. You do kn ow what Precedent is right?
