BIG NEWS: Speaker Mike Johnson Considers Recess Appointments to Push Through Trump’s Cabinet Picks Including Matt Gaetz if Senate Fails to Do Its Job
(www.thegatewaypundit.com)
- N C S W I C -
From the article, “ For a recess appointment to be possible, Congress must be in recess for at least ****10 days (of darkness) ****, a requirement made clear by the Supreme Court in 2014.
Ooooooh... Good Catch!
Two weeks should do it. kek
It's not up to him
The House of Representatives does not confirm cabinet members. The Senate does that. The Senate must be in recess for the President to be able to make recess appointments.
If the house disagrees with the senate about a (recess). The President can call a recess of his choosing.
Crazy stuff.

I believe each house of Congress can set their own schedule, and all that matters for recess appointments is whether or not the Senate is in session.
Apparently, there is part of the Constitution that allows the President to call an adjournment when the House and Senate are in disagreement re: recess.
If House wants, but Senate doesn't, the President can decide.
If Senate wants, but House doesn't, again, the President can decide.
Article:
I can't remember specifically, but I believe Trump had a problem with recess appointments the last time he was president. Didn't a portion of senators show up at "work" so that he wouldn't be able to. Maybe that was where the Supreme Court decided on it-but as the writer states it was in 2014. So maybe it wasn't Trump I was thinking of, but I thought it was a republican president.
Yes, we haven't had recess appointments for at least 8 years. The Senate has "pro forma" sessions which are basically opening and then closing the Senate every day with no work performed. They only do this to block the President from being able to do recess appointments.
Thanks, I was wondering who the president was when we attempted to have recess appointments made and the congress would say they, whichever house, was not in recess. To me this, your statement, is ridiculous for the senate to do as they attempt to block any appointment by the president-but it makes perfect sense to the criminals in charge. Thanks.
Can he not impact directly whether the congress, including senate, is in recess or not?
If the House requests recess and the Senate disagrees, apparently the President can then push the whole of congress in to recess. Is this incorrect?
So, it would be a 1-2 spike by Johnson and Trump cooperating. Johnson requests Senate to adjourn, and if denied, Trump then gets to adjourn both.
The President can then make recess appointments, no?
The MSM propaganda machine appear to be all up in arms about this. Are they wrong?
It's totally legit to say that Johnson is considering Recess Appointments as an option to help Trump's appointments get through. There is no claim that John can make recess appointments OR make the appointments in the first place. Just that he is considering those as an option he can facilitate, if DJT wants it.
The question is whether POTUS can put both houses in to recess due to the constitution and “extraordinary occasions”, it seems.
Yes, the Senate approves appointments.
Which is why the Left side working so hard to steal a few more seats while the GOPe is acting like there is no threat.
I'm sure Trump, and team, anticipated that the Senate will oppose Trump at every step. Even the Republicans. Recess appointments were designed in for such a time. Otherwise, one side could permanently hold up confirmations. It's a balance against a malicious Senate, which we have. Do it.
This might be the surprise.
Perhaps we will have a Recess appointment from December 7th (a day of Infamy) through December 17th. There's that #17 again. Note time of 10 days of darkness. Could it happen? We will see.
None of it can take place until Jan - when the new Congress takes over and after Trump is sworn in. I believe the new Congress takes over on Jan 6 and Trump on Jan 20.
This is what I didn't understand. How did the old GOP senators vote for the New leader when dinner of them won't be there. I know McConnell stepped down and didn't contest these recent elections but the new Senate should have appointed the new leader
I am not sure I fully understand your inquiry. But, I think this may be what you are questioning.
Senate Majority leader is not a Constitutional position unlike the Speaker of the House, which is a Constitutional office. Majority leader is more of a traditional office that is something handled by the Senate in house according to their own rules and procedures. This quick pick of a new Senate Majority leader was to preempt allowing the new Senate membership to make the decision. Their problem was that they were trying to do this on the DL and word got out about what they were trying to do. The Senate switchboard lit up like a Christmas tree with calls from angry Republicans. What the GOP was doing, although it be underhanded, was something they could do according to the Senate's own rules and procedures. It was simply maneuvering by the GOP to have some control over who the next Majority leader would be while they still would have a say - especially McConnell.
I took this from another post earlier where an anon (wish I could remember) had did this by a Q post.
Trump ordering Congress to recess cannot take place until he and the new Congress are sworn in and have authority. Till then, the Congress and administration are still in the driver's seat.
The issue of Congressional recess came up several years ago during Trump's previous administration. Trump's plan then was to fire a bunch of DS SES federal employees because that was essentially the only way they could be forced to leave. The SES (Senior Executive Service) was formed during Obama's term. They are permanent government employees that essentially are insulated from other administrations attempts to fire them. Laying them off via Congressional recess was one attempt to rid the government of these Obama DS hacks. Good old Mitch McConnell thwarted Trump's attempt by refusing to call a recess. The dates from the Q post would apply to that particular incident because Trump was already in the WH - but not to the current situation due to the above forestated reasons.
Bringing Congress to an official recess is very rare because it is a pain in the a**. Most of the time what is called recess is not. Congress essentially adjourns and leaves a skeleton crew in place just in case some emergency occurs. There are several formalities involved to shut Congress down in a real recess and formalities that must be taken to readjourn. This is why they don't do it. Should a crisis occur during a recess it would hamper Congressional ability to act until they were formally readjourn.
Most of us on this forum have had to take a crash course on how our government actually works - something that for many was neglected deliberately as part of our education system - especially for younger Americans. No harm, no foul. It is a learning experience for everyone.
Thanks. I learned about our branches of government in school and how each branch worked. However I had never heard of a Congressional recess and getting ones nominees into office. I'm also 64 years old and I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks. KEK! Thanks again.
You are most welcome fren. Have a great day from one boomer to another.
Recess Congress so the appointments can be made just like Obama, Clinton and Bush did and leave them in recess so they can be arrested for treason!
The VP is president of the Senate and can put it into recess.
No. The Senate has to vote to go into recess. Except in the case of a House resolution requesting a joint recess, where the President has authority to impose a recess as he sees fit, the VP can not unilaterally put the Senate into recess. All he can do is call a vote and ask the body if they wish to recess.
THIS IS NOTHING BUT A WAKE-UP call to the WANNABE "power brokers" who have a say in PDJT's cabinet!!!!! These "small" minded individuals are going to find out that PDJT does NOT PLAY BY THEIR RULES...PDJT was given a mandate by us, THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES WANTED...SHRINK GOVERNMENT!!!!
