CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY APRIL 17, 2020
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS THREATENED TO ADJOURN CONGRESS BECAUSE OF ITS FAILURE TO CONFIRM ABOUT 100 OF HIS NOMINEES TO HIGH POSITIONS. AT WEDNESDAY’S WHITE HOUSE BRIEFING, THE PRESIDENT SAID HE HAS BEEN HAMSTRUNG BY THE LACK OF PERSONNEL BECAUSE DEMOCRATS HAVE HELD UP HIS NOMINEES. WHILE REPUBLICANS ARE IN THE MAJORITY IN THE SENATE, DEMOCRATS MUST AGREE TO AN ADJOURNMENT FOR IT TO OCCUR. INSTEAD THEY HAVE BEEN HOLDING PRO-FORMA SESSIONS SO THEY CAN CLAIM THEY ARE IN SESSION.
IT’S NOT BEEN DONE BEFORE BUT THE PRESIDET HAS THE POWER TO DO IT UNDER ARTICLE 2, SECTION THREE OF THE CONSTITUTION AND THEN TO CALL CONGRESS BACK WHEN HE SEES FIT.
HOUSE DEMOCRATS ARE ALSO HOLDING UP ANOTHER STIMULUS FOR UNEMPLOYED PEOPLE JUST TO SPITE THE PRESIDENT AND ADD-ON UNRELATED SPENDING. THEY ARE WILLING TO HARM AMERICANS IN PURSUIT OF THEIR GOAL OF KEEPING TRUMP FROM WINNING A SECOND TERM.
THE MEDIA AND THE DEMOCRATS – SAME THING – WILL HOWL IF THE PRESIDENT ADJOURNS CONGRESS AND DOES RECESS APPOINTMENTS FOR ALL HIS NOMINEES, BUT LET THEM. THEY CRITICIZE HIM NO MATTER WHAT HE DOES. IM CAL THOMAS.
