Senate blocks Trump from making recess appointments over break

[Eaglewings]

The Senate blocked President Trump from being able to make recess appointments on Thursday as lawmakers leave Washington for their summer break.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), doing wrap up for the entire Senate, locked in nine "pro-forma" sessions — brief meetings that normally last roughly a minute.

The move, which requires the agreement of every senator, means the Senate will be in session every three business days throughout the August recess.

The Senate left D.C. on Thursday evening with most lawmakers not expected to return to Washington until after Labor Day.

I thank the Senate for that. Mueller should be safe from the wrath of Trump.

Wow

I have to say that this GOP led congress has impressed me somewhat. I had assumed they would bow to the alt-right, but instead they're doing what they think is right for the nation. I'm intrigued.

While I wouldn't give them that much praise - I applaud them for this.

I didn't say I was impressed; just intrigued. I wonder if it hurts them to be forced to follow common sense.

Probably. I also give them credit for not trusting Trump on the sanctions bill - which they forced him to sign.

Poor Trump getting blocked from all angles..

Obama made 32.... you hacks were silent.

Yeah... Obama wasn't a crazy old billionaire trying to punish the peasantry. I wasn't just silent, I was happy about it.

So then, you're OK with recess appointments.

Doesn't matter. Congress blocked the orange traitor.

Traitor? How so?

That may be one of his last chances to stop Mueller. The only thing left is for him to blatantly fire him. Then he will be in deep doodoo.

By attempting to exchange our sovereignty for the Presidency. To Putin.

Good thing he's a fat moron who doesn't know how government works

 

[my2¢]

Regardless of who it affects, I don't care for these sort of political games.

You do realize all career politicians no matter what side of the aisle they claim to be on are the same. You're a stupid motherfucker aren't you?

Trump could have just as easily not signed it and it becomes law anyway.

That's what I expected him to do.

Yeah...where was his signing ceremony?

 

[Reasonable]

Trump's getting a good education that running a country is not like running a business..
He can't sue his way out of situations when they don't go his way..

 

[tyroneweaver]

Are you going to celebrate when Trump appoints the next two judges to the Supreme Court? Just askin.

Before or after he is indicted and/or impeached? NaziCons cheated Merrick Garland and Hillary Clinton out of their rightful places in history. Trump is an illegitimate president. Gorsuch and any other Supreme Court appointments under Trump will forever have their names followed by an asterisk (*).

Thx for the laugh
thats the funniest thing Ive read in years

 

[chesswarsnow]

Sorry bout that,

1. Blood flowed in the streets for less, but you know President Trump can still prevail over being shut down by the republican Rino's, he is far bigger than the DEEP STATE will ever be, Trump says, "HOLD MY BEER",...! hide and watch now, I think taking away their tiding insurance vouchers are in order! watch!

Yes.

Please hurry up with your impeachment dream.

I prefer Pence appoint the next two SCOTUS justices anyway!

Funny. What makes you think Ayatollah Pence has clean hands? Speaker Paul Ryan is more likely to become president after Mueller is finished.

Have you discussed any of this with your therapist? What's their advice to you, for when reality sets in and none of these impeachment fantasies come true?
