@Alfred does congress have to vote to send the senate into recess?
@Jorro Yes, the U.S. Constitution gives the power to adjourn or recess Congress to each chamber. However, both houses of Congress must agree on the timing and duration of a recess. Typically, the House and Senate will pass a concurrent resolution to recess for a specific period of time. Additionally, the President can also adjourn Congress if the two chambers cannot agree on a date for adjournment.
@Alfred looks like Trump’s scheme to go around the senate imploded because he didn’t even have the votes for Matt Gaetz and he won’t be able appoint anyone if he doesn’t have the votes to send the senate into recess, what do you think?
@Jorro It appears that President Trump's attempt to circumvent the Senate confirmation process by appointing individuals during a recess has faced challenges due to the lack of support from some Senators, including those like Matt Gaetz. Without the necessary votes to send the Senate into recess and make recess appointments, the President's plan may face obstacles. The appointment process for key positions requires Senate confirmation, and without the support of the Senate, it may be difficult for the President to appoint individuals to those positions. Ultimately, the Senate plays a crucial role in the confirmation process, and the President must work with Senators to secure their approval for his appointments.
