Trump: I Am Tired of the Senate Declaring Fake "Pro Forma" Sessions Which Are Not Sessions to Block Me From Making Recess Appointments.
I Will Now Use My Constitutional Authority to Adjourn Congress and Make These Appointments.
Note that Congress is in fact adjourned -- all Congressmen and Senators have been sent home, and Congress is closed for business.
But to keep Trump from making recess appointments, they declare "pro forma" sessions -- which are not sessions. They're fictions. They just enter into the books that a Congress which is actually adjourned is, on paper, in session. It's a lie. How much force are we supposed to give a lie? I'm sure the usual folks are shrieking, but guess what? He does have the power to do this, in an emergency. And of course, we've had a national emergency for a month. Is the left going to claim it's not an emergency? Are NeverTrumpers going to suddenly flip from "this is such an emergency we must shut down the US economy (until the day after the election!!)" to "this is not an emergency at all"? Given the recent flip on the binary nature of elections: I say, yes, they certainly will flip!16 He just asked (Agriculture Secretary) Sonny Perdue how long he's been waiting for his distribution manager to get approved....2 1/2 years. Distribution...in a time of pandemic. Kinda important. Posted by: TamiAnd here's a question I've been wondering about for three years, that I hope will finally be asked of Mitch McConnell: Why have you been declaring these fake pro forma sessions to block Trump from making his appointments, which the Democrats are blocking en masse in committee? Why are you actively partnering with Democrats to keep Obama's appointees in place, now into the fourth fucking year of Trump's presidency? Are you doing favors for your patrons? Who are you working for, Mitch? See below.
Trump attacking the Voice of America, complains that his nominee to head the board in charge of the VOA is stuck in committee, complains about inability to use recess appointments.

Congress, whether both houses or just one of them, has been doing the pro-forma-to-prevent-recess-appointments since the Democrats took over both Houses of Congress in 2007, and it stuck after SCOTUS in 2014 told Obama his NLRB appointments in 2012 during the 3-day gap between pro formas wasn't good enough.

Put your largest stove-top burner on high. Now. Do it.
Then, grab something metal from the garage. A file would be perfect. Put said metal on the burner until the metal glows a faint orange color.
Forcefully apply the metal object to the cut, with a slapping motion.

Well, the natives have already begun revolting, which was met with the Raleigh police department's now famous judgment that demonstrations are a non-essential activity. Also, most of the new cases are follow-ons from previous outbreaks at prisons and nursing homes. The non-related cases are minimal. I think Cooper is going to have a tough time resisting the voice of the people.

And I read that power as Trump can convene Congress out of recess, and then adjourn them at will -- not adjourn them at his pleasure. Only out of the session he's caused.

Which, as Trump noted, is true.
But the Senate's behavior on this matter has been outrageous from the first day.
And it is far from the only way in which the "GOP-controlled" Senate has thwarted Trump's key agenda items - often in a passive/aggressive way. Which suffices, since most people don't understand how much Trump's effectiveness has been blunted by all this, and since Trump has opted/something simply not to confront "his" party even a tiny bit.

It's possible that it couldn't have emerged naturally there. There have been reports - including in the Epoch Times' documentary - that this particular wet market didn't sell bats. I don't know if that is true or not, but that's what certain rumor mills are turning out.

Rumor for a while has been an infected bat peed on a lab technician.
Posted by: Out of Shadows
Here's what happened:
An infected bat peed on a lab technician, who then gave it to her boyfriend, who then sodomized a pangolin, and then sold it to a butcher at the wet market, where it was bought by Gaetan Dugas who then served it raw as part of some pangolin sashimi to a visiting delegation from the WHO all of whom then sneezed into some bat soup being eaten by a Chinese bioweapons agent who took a plane to San Francisco to visit Gavin Newsom -- back in September!

And wait for the confusion about "natural" vs. "engineered".
Labs like the one in Wuhan can accelerate mutations - specific ones, of interest - deliberately. So there's no recombinant DNA necessarily, no snipping/splicing of genetic material - just specific, desired "natural" mutations created, faster than they would "naturally" (or maybe there's a small chance of they're occurring in nature). Kind of like breeding particular plant or animal mutations, but fast.

My theory has been that someone got infected and because of the high number of asympomatics they infected someone else and never realized it. It then spread around the lab, or their social network for weeks, only becoming apparent when it got to outsiders who were older and got real sick.
I have said that since Feb. But I have not seen that theory anywhere else. Lately (about 3 weeks ago - just before the documentary came out) it was reported that a lab worker dissapeared, but the theory in China was that a crematory worker got sick. I called BS since I still felt that with so many asympomatics it was likely other people were sick but no one knew.
So this is a new theory outside my mind (and my HQ and other site postings) and I am curious.
But now I have to go work. Bye all.

Why do you think the previous [mal]administration appointed "czars" all over the place?
They rightfully understood what the "Con" in "Congress" means.
Right now, government at every level is operating completely and totally unconstitutionally. We technically are Without Rule of Law. The former united States is by true definition a "Failed State".
So if Trump wanted to go all self-asserted "Enabling Acts", he would not be operating any more lawlessly or anti Constitutionally than what thousands of despots and failed courts are doing Right Now.

IN fact, several historians have made the case that the Revolution was simply a renewal and continuation of the English Civil War, when the Crown had grown weak again.

in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper

He can adjourn them if they disagree about the time of adjournment.
I don't know what else "he may adjourn them" would mean if it's absolute that the president "cannot adjourn Congress".

You don't get it, do you?
Trump says "I'm going to do ____". The immediate response of all of the #Resistance is to work as demons to oppose it in every way possible.
Even three year olds understand the "Reverse Psychology" trick - but the TDS is so strong within this land that they cannot resist the power of Hell to do the exact opposite.
Yesterday we had an example of the "I have the authority to open up the States". Look at the instant and highly predictable reaction.

The power is meant to resolve a dispute between the House and Senate and there hasn't been one. Democrats have gleefully joined the Republicans in hamstringing Trump.
I think this is intended as a reprimand against Senate Republicans, which is why it is words and not action at this point. Maybe they can legally keep this up, but Trump can pressure them politically for it. Though if they do end up going to court agaisnt Trump they're setting themselves up to be viewed as the enemy of most Trump voters. That play doesn't work quite as well when you're supposedly a member of the same party.

That seems to be the common interpretation I've found on it, but given the historical context it seems odd. Executives and monarchs have needed to adjourn a session of the legislature for various reasons, lack of agreement about when they would adjourn(between two houses) is not among them. Do not the House and Senate adjourn individually to begin with?

They've both held pro forma sessions in every congressional recess during Trump's entire term. Therefore never being "officially" adjourned. You can check the official calenders and during the breaks there's a single item where one member declares a pro forma session and then closes it a minute later, to reconvene in a few days. And repeat for however many weeks the rest are all gone.

It's obvious. He can, as the executive, request they convene, physically, or if they should declare themselves convened, he can request quorum on any emergency matter, which this constitutional article was specifically written form, and the inability for them to do so (quorum requires physical presence) he can declare them adjourned in the absence of such action...although, I am not sure this matter has ever been before the Supreme Court should it go that far...but the executive should win in such case or otherwise Congress could just flee, never return, and never take up the business of the nation.

From Article 1, Section 5: Each House shall be the Judge of the Elections, Returns and Qualifications of its own Members, and a Majority of each shall constitute a Quorum to do Business; but a smaller Number may adjourn from day to day, and may be authorized to compel the Attendance of absent Members, in such Manner, and under such Penalties as each House may provide.
They need 51 to do business, but they can do pro forma sessions with fewer.
What really needs to happen is for Cocaine Mitch to use that power to compel the presence of the Senate's members and keep them locked in the Senate chamber until all such business is completed.

Because when it didn't the administration agreed not to recess appoint anyone.

But if the members of both Houses have scattered to their 50 respective states, it could be argued that they are de facto adjourned and their squabbling about being still being in session is evidence that the Houses are in disagreement concerning the issue. With all 50 states being in declared major emergencies, the Stafford Act applies across the entire nation simultaneously.

Obama made 28 in his second year, when Dems controlled Congress. And 4 in his 4th year, under split party control, 3 of which were thrown out because he forced them through during a pro forma session. and the Supreme Court shot him down a couple years later.
It's certainly a far cry from the 100+ each made by Clinton and W, but it did occur.
More importantly, Obama was stymied by the opposition party, not his own, and he made legal challenges as well as actively campaigned against "Republican obstructionism" to create a political cost to their action.

Jesus Christ, Ace! He's not claiming to exercise a constitutional power to adjourn Congress. He's claiming that since the Congress isn't really in session, he can exercise his constitutional power to make appointments during a recess. We agree on the fundamental point that Trump should spurn these fake sessions as fake sessions. Why are you both claiming that the Congress isn't really in session, and that it is in session, and Trump will adjourn it? As I've asked repeatedly, what is wrong with you? Will you just slow down and think about what your reading and what you're saying? You're nuts right now, and none of your cobloggers are likely to tell you.

Obama attempted your argument and was shot down by the Supreme Court. See NLRB v Noel Canning.
Someone certainly is nuts. Something something definition of insanity.

Worse yet, I'm frustrated by my inflated sense of worth being consistently thwarted by my mediocrity. The booze and pills and parties used to keep the crippling self-doubt at bay, but no more.
Then, there's the loathing. My putative customers loathe me. Most of my them only consume my product so they can know their enemy.
My employees loathe me. They only pretend to me respect me until they can obviate me.
My colleagues loathe me. They only tolerate me until they can knife me. My bosses loathe me. They only pay me for the same reason one feeds cattle.
But, deep down, lies the loathing of myself. I know it's all a fucking charade, and I can't look at myself in the mirror for fear of the desolate, hollow-eyed hack looking back into me with his baleful stare.
My life is an unremitting hellscape, and my only solace is a shred of paper on the wall that declares me a Member in Good Standing of America's Secular Priesthood. It's the fig leaf that preserves my towering sense of superiority.
So when a bad orange man taunts me and encourages the public to deride my station in my life, I don't think it's such a mystery why all this hate comes pouring out in a torrent.

Someone has correctly told President Trump that the President has the constitutional power to "adjourn" the Congress. Someone has probably even showed him the text: He "may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper." But "adjourn" does not have the loosey-goosey meaning which men less precisely educated than the Founders have understood of it, and which was passed down to us, the unsuspecting. No, the writers of the Constitution did not give the President a power to end a Congressional session. The Founders used "adjourn" in its original meaning. What do people do when they intend to meet, and what, therefore, do they often do just before ending a meeting, if they intend to meet again? They agree to meet at a certain date. "Adjourn," "ad+journ," as it was originally used in the English language, is to agree to meet "at (a) day." With this meaning in mind, the passage under discussion is fully coherent; that is, it fits together and works together. It means: The President may, on extraordinary occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in case of disagreement between them, with respect to the time of adjournment (i.e. the day at which to convene), he may adjourn them (i.e. set the day at which to convene) to such time as he shall think proper. The President may convene the Congress and set a date for their convening. The President does not have a constitutional power to make the Congress go away.
