Tell Me Again How Trump Controls Congress

Senate blocks Trump from making recess appointments over break

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

Senators were scheduled to be in town through next week, but staffers and senators predicted they would wrap up a few remaining agenda items and leave Washington early.

Trump should make some recess appointments and call Murcowski's bluff.

Good idea. See what happens.

Like I said in another thread, it's too bad the opposition party controls both the House and the Senate. You can tell they are the opposition party because they gave Obama everything he wanted. They rolled over on their backs and peed on their bellies for him. Hell, the Demonrats were more obstructionist to Obama than the Republicants.
