Who needs a constitution anyway?

Is there anyone of repute actually reporting this? So far all I see are Rolling Stone, Political, and Hillreporter. Those are junk as far as news sources are concerned. I shouldn't be surprised, though, that you two jumped on the bandwagon before it is verified as real news.

I didn't take it seriously. Jeeze. Even if the DOJ requested it, it'd never pass through congress.

1. he has the power to adjourn Congress.
2. It just doesn't work the way he thinks it does apparently, because he has no power over this particular problem.
3. The Supreme Court already ruled against him, or more specifically, Obama when Obama had issues with appointments.

This won't go well for him if he tries it.

This isn't quite right.

1. He has the power to adjourn Congress only if Congress can't agree on if to adjourn. This means he cannot force Congress to close, but can cast the deciding vote if one house adjourns and the other does not. In this case, both the Senate and the House are holding pro forma sessions. If this continues, then Trump cannot adjourn Congress. If the Senate stops holding pro forma sessions and moves to adjourn, but the House refuses to adjourn, then, and only then, can Trump move to adjourn Congress. He's the tie-breaker, essentially.

2. He'll have power if the Senate adjourns, but, yes, currently, with both houses in session, he cannot adjourn Congress.

3. SCOTUS slapped down Obama for making recess appointments while Congress was in pro forma sessions. That's not what Trump wants to do. He wants the Senate to adjourn so he can then adjourn the House, which will put Congress in recess. Then he's free to make recess appointments and not run afoul of that SCOTUS ruling.

I agree it wouldn't go well, if only because it looks heavy handed. Right now there's little reporting about how many vacancies there are and how the minority party in the Senate is blocking confirming appointments to those vacancies. Having been unable to get Trump directly, they're starving his administration, hoping this leads to failures they can exploit for the upcoming election. It's not bad politics, but only survives by not being reported (not likely there). If Trump tries to run over this in this way, that will be reported widely, and the particulars take way too much time to explore for the simple narrative of OrangeManBad to not win out easily. It probably won't stop him, though.

It was correct about #1.  I said he does have the power, and he does.  Then I said it doesn't work the way he is claiming, and it doesn't, so #2 was correct.  That's because it works like like #1.  #3 I was off on.  

I don't understand how they are blocking him.  He has been getting his appointments through with a slight majority for years and if the minority party could have stopped them, it would have.  I wonder if a few Republicans have stopped supporting his nominations.

I've only seen them call comedy sites "parody sites".
