Considering that the recess appointment clause was enacted at a time when the primary mode of transportation was the horse and carriage and death from sickness and injury was more prevalent it seems to me that it’s intended purpose was to continue the functioning of the government at a time when it was more difficult to convene the Senate in a timely manner.... Too Right, mate ---
In other words, if the Senate recesses on purpose simply to give the president a free pass, then they are abdicating their power and responsibility to their constituents in favor of the Presidents will.
If they do that then they might as well just get him a crown and anoint him King of America. Originally Posted by txdot-guy
