Breaking: House To Block Obama From Making Recess Appointments
The GOP dominated House has a little payback for the president to make up for how they were treated before the 2010 midterms.
The House has reportedly indicated it's not going to let the Senate adjourn for a full recess over Memorial Day in order to block President Obama from making any recess appointments during the break.
Under the U.S Constitution, neither chamber can adjourn for more than three days unless both chambers agree to it.
Just ot show you this isn't without precedent, back when the Democrats took over Congress in 2007, they held Senate mini- sessions every three days during breaks to prevent President Bush from making any appointments, some of which lasted only seconds.
Good for Donkey, good for Elephant, to paraphrase an old saying about geese and ganders.
Pay back is a B____.
