Just days after our post, Trump Claims He Has “Total Authority” To Reopen States’ Economy, on Wednesday, April 15, 2020, President Donald Trump used the coronavirus briefing to express dissatisfaction with Democrats in Congress, and said he will use his ‘Constitutional authority to adjourn both chambers of Congress.’ President Donald Trump threatened to do what no American president before him had ever done: to unilaterally adjourn Congress so that he can appoint his nominees to senior positions and the federal bench without Senate approval.
But according to legal scholars, the president only has the authority to adjourn Congress if — and only if — the House and the Senate disagree with one another over when to adjourn. Currently, there is no such disagreement.
“The Senate’s practice of gaveling into so-called pro forma sessions where no one is even there has prevented me from using the constitutional authority that we’re given under the recess provisions,” Trump said during Wednesday’s coronavirus pandemic briefing. “The Senate should either fulfill its duty and vote on my nominees, or it should formally adjourn so that I can make recess appointments.”
During congressional recess periods, both chambers hold extremely brief parliamentary sessions every few days, known as pro forma sessions, precisely so that the legislature is never officially adjourned, and no president can bypass the Senate’s confirmation process to make recess appointments.
Trump said he needed the ability to make recess appointments in order to appoint key officials to aid in the response to the coronavirus pandemic. “We have a tremendous number of people that have to come into government and now more so than ever before because of the virus,” Trump said in the Rose Garden, in the video “President Donald Trump threatens to ‘adjourn both chambers of Congress’“, below:
The president threatened Wednesday, April 15, 2020, to adjourn Congress so he can unilaterally install nominees to federal positions that he said are pertinent to the coronavirus crisis. The Morning Joe panel discusses what would be an unprecedented move, in the video “What Prompted Trump’s Threats To Adjourn Congress? Morning Joe, MSNBC“, below:
After stating he had total authority to reopen the economy Trump now says he coordinate with governors, as Dr. Fauci warns a May 1st timeline is “a bit overly optimistic” in the video “Trump, Eager, To Restart The Economy By May, Says He ‘Won’t Pressure’ Governors, Deadline, MSNBC“, below:
Trump says he will invoke a never-before-used presidential power to adjourn Congress to fill senior official and federal judge positions himself. ABC News’ Alex Presha reports, in the video “President Trump threatening to bypass Congress“, below:
President Donald Trump threatened to apply a never-used provision of the US Constitution to allow himself to adjourn the US Congress and push through many of his nominees who typically require Senate confirmation, in the video “Trump threatens to invoke never-used authority“, below:
Dr. Jill Biden says the country must listen to experts on reopening the economy and former VP Biden says the country is going to get through this crisis, in the video “Joe Biden: We Are Going To Get Through This, Morning Joe, MSNBC“, below:
