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.
