In Article I, Section 6, Clause 1, the Framers provided for Members of Congress to be free from arrest when attending or traveling to and from Congress except in cases of treason, felony, or breaches of the peace. In interpreting this provision, the Supreme Court has held that the phrase treason, felony, and breach of the peace encompasses all criminal offenses. Consequently, Members are only privileged from arrests arising from civil suits, which were common in America at the time the Constitution was ratified.
The only time we can be sure they do no harm is when they are not in session. If you dig into the history of Congress they used to only meet for a few months per year.
The modern, year-long calendar started under FDR and is part of the system of control. It was done to make people believe it’s necessary to always have Congress their deciding how we should be living our lives.
There is another reason to keep CONgress "in session" or gaveled-in. When CONgress is not in session, POTUS can do recess appointments. So if, for example, the AG position is open and the Senate won't approve the POTUS's choice. POTUS could appoint an interim AG on his own during a recess and CONgress can't do anything about it. The appointment only lasts until the end of the CONgressional session.
However - the Senate can hold "pro-forma sessions" where they technically remain in session, with someone there "conducting business". They did this to Trump to keep him from making any recess appoints. Reagan, both Bushes, Clinton, and Obama all had recess appointments.
True, but when have the Republicans ever rejected a Democrat President’s choices? I’m not saying it hasn’t happened, but I sure can’t recall it. Maybe a few have been withdrawn without a vote, but has one ever been voted down?
That I don't know. I do know a few of Biden's picks didn't make it and were withdrawn (or they stepped down themselves) like the ATF guy. With RINOs like Grahmnesty, Cornyn, Collins, and Murkowski it would be really hard to vote one of the picks down.
Fair point. I’m about as limited govt as you can possibly be but these are not business as usual circumstances. Let’s flip the script for a moment; assassination attempt was on a Dem and we have Dem controlled House. They would never waste the timing or urgency to investigate and find any nugget of information (to leak) ahead of an election. They would use the scenario to taint their opponent & persuade public opinion. But not the Reps; time for vacation… they’re f’n clueless, spineless weasels.
What an interesting time to take a break. WWIII just around the corner. Stock Market and the US dollar collapse imminent, Weekend at Biden's playing on the big screen, etc.
What is "HOT?" Does that mean hot war? Is it just a catch all term? I have a feeling it's going to be the "flood" from:
Slow drip > Flood
I mean, it already feels like it's flooding, but it can definitely get more Floody. Perhaps August is the SHTF month. Perfect time for the Country's "leadership" to take a long vacation.
Every time conservatives have an opportunity to really step on the gas, they walk away and do nothing. There is so much they could be doing to step on the throats of the Left, but instead they decide to go on another vacation.
They are our royalty when you really think about it. Who else gets such great wages for being on the job just weeks out of the year? We pay for their food, lodging, transportation. The trough is huge.
They have to set the stage and learn their lines and besides new actors have to be introduced along with new plot lines established..alot to do before the second half of the show since the killer ending of the first half fell flat...jus sayin
Didn't serving in Congress used to be a volunteer position with serving only a few months of the year? When the criminal cabal is finally dismantled seems like a good idea to reduce the role of Congress and certainly they're ability to become millionaires while on the job.
Didn't Q tell us that when those critters aren't in session they can be arrested?
Even in session they can be arrested for felonies (and likely any crime), though they don't want you to know that...

Exactly!

Yes yes yes!!!!
At the very least, put them on hourly pay. 20.00 an hour should do it. California thinks so.
Timely investigations? ....look to me like more of an opportunity for timely arrests.

Because D.C. was literally built on a swamp, it wasn't a nice place to be in the summer and they didn't want to be there.
Every year they take August off and in an election year they take more time off in the Fall so they can go home to campaign.
there
and also a comma error
to add on, actually multiple
Thanks. I should proofread before hitting save.

I have a feeling August will be fun.

August tends to be a hot month so this is where this part of the movie can be tough.

My job means sometimes I have to work late, sometimes I have to work weekends; and sometimes I have to work instead of vacation.
Then again, I can't vote myself a raise, either.
Insane! Our country is falling apart and they couldn’t give a damn!
Is Laura Loomer accused of being a Tranny? I can’t keep up with this story line
I don't know about tranny, but she certainly looks like she's wearing a mask, it's hard to believe she's 25, she looks like she's 40
Laura = Larry Loomer.
There's already a thread on here. Search for it.
Looks like it. Khazar Israeli trannies doing psy-ops on US soil.

Amazing that they still get paid to not fucking work...
Be a nice time for the Marines to visit
This is what the 2nd Amendment was made for

Maybe many will not be returning, we can wish can’t we!
Gotta give the FBI time to cover up everything and destroy all emails, phone records and text messages! Geeezzzz, did you expect anything different?
