Don’t reopen it!!!
The Senate has to be in recess for a recess appointment, not the House.
It is more complex than that. There was a discussion of it I heard back when the Congress was out mid summer.
They would say not someone in each day to bang the gavel so that Congress was not actually in Recess.
Even if the do go into recess they have to be in recess for something like 26 days.
And then there are other hurdles.
Something someone agreed to back during the Obama era I think.or maybe Bush.
Yes. It is a big deal to recess the Congress, and then there is a bunch of procedural stuff that has to take place in order to bring it back into session. That is partly the reason why they don't fully recess.
