Former Maryland Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. said President Donald Trump’s threat to adjourn Congress to make recess appointments without Senate approval in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic could be a negotiating tactic.
“Difficult to say in light of this president’s willingness to break precedent. He typically does these things to create leverage in order to get a deal,” Ehrlich, a Republican who served in Congress from 1995-2003, told MarylandReporter.com in an email on Thursday.
“As I understand it, he would need a disagreement between the respective chambers to do so — but I believe that would require UC (Unanimous Consent) in the Senate. Such is not likely of course.”

Maybe it's not a bluff. Maybe he intends to adjourn in order to be able to arrest the members with sealed indictments who can't be arrested while in session...
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited. I just can't hide it...

Trump already stated why he would, if you were paying attention.
We need a civil war on Democrats.

DeletePresident Trump needs to do it ASAP and let the Congress do what they want while he does government business for the American people. Congress can do nothing about it according to the Constitution but bitch. Congress has created this situation and now they have to be reminded there are consequences for their inaction for their political desires.
ReplyDeleteI don't have much faith in any of Ehrlich's thoughts.
ReplyDeleteyes 1154am....its always your pos dem side of congress that really fouls up every plan to do better.
ReplyDeletehe should shut them down and shut them up. He has the right and the power and authority to do so. 50 states have declared a state of emergency which gives the President some special authorities. He needs to do some reappointing and get things done. Trump is smarter then the idiots give him credit for. He always beats them at their own games and the fools don't have sense enough to know it. MAGA Trump 2020

Is it true - they are privileged? Can't go to jail for a crime like a normal citizen? Go for it President Trump.
ReplyDeleteEverything thing Trump does has a purpose. Him redirecting funds away from the World Health Organization is being done to force the WHO's hand and have them remove the current director. The message is: You get rid of that idiot and you'll start receiving the money from the U.S. again.
