SELF CORRECTION
I caused a ruckus coupla breads back when I posted this link and screenshot from 3days3nights.
Here is what I SHOULD HAVE posted…
Trump’s way to navigate Congress.
3days3nights retweets April post.
1) HOW TRUMP CAN ADJOURN CONGRESS #QANON
HUGE!!! Trump just hinted about ADJOURNING CONGRESS. This thread explains the EXTRAORDINARY POWERS that Trump will have during any CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS to make rapid legal changes to our GOVERNMENT.
2) HOW TRUMP CAN ADJOURN CONGRESS #QANON
Article II, Section 3: The President shall have power on EXTRAORDINARY OCCASIONS (DECLAS/COVID) to convene both Houses, or either of them & in case of a DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN THEM WITH RESPECT TO TIME OF ADJOURNMENT, he may adjourn them.
3) HOW TRUMP CAN ADJOURN CONGRESS #QANON
Why is this important? If Congress is adjourned, the President can IMMEDIATELY make BINDING RECESS APPOINTMENTS to EVERY open judicial & cabinet nomination including any SCOTUS seats that happened to open up at that time (RBG & Roberts).
4) HOW TRUMP CAN ADJOURN CONGRESS #QANON
Article I, Section 5: The Constitution PROHIBITS either Chamber of Congress from adjourning for more than 3 CONSECUTIVE DAYS WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE OTHER CHAMBER. PRO FORMA SESSIONS keep the Senate in a state of "perpetual session".
5) HOW TRUMP CAN ADJOURN CONGRESS #QANON
POTUS can only make RECESS APPOINTMENTS when Senate is in RECESS. By law, Senate must use PRO FORMA SESSIONS to meet requirements of Article 1, Section 5 by not adjourning for more than 3 days without permission from the House (Pelosi).
6) HOW TRUMP CAN ADJOURN CONGRESS #QANON
In 2012, Obama's corrupt DOJ ruled that PRO FORMA SESSIONS were a RECESS since no real work was done. He then appointed 5 people illegally. SCOTUS ruled 9-0 against him in NLRB vs Noel Canning and affirmed PRO FORMA SESSIONS were valid.
7) HOW TRUMP CAN ADJOURN CONGRESS #QANON
PRO FORMA SESSIONS are valid so a President can only make RECESS APPOINTMENTS if he can MOTIVATE House (Pelosi) & Senate (McConnell) to DISAGREE ON SCHEDULES FOR MORE THAN 3 DAYS, and then Trump can ADJOURN CONGRESS. Or he can use COVID.
8) HOW TRUMP CAN ADJOURN CONGRESS #QANON
I believe Schumer, Pelosi & even McConnell are trying to reduce sentences. Q said "Deals, NO, but Hostages, YES". Imagine if Pelosi/McConnell DISAGREED FOR 3+ DAYS ON SCHEDULES. Or even better, just use the National Emergency for COVID.
9) HOW TRUMP CAN ADJOURN CONGRESS #QANON
Imagine the TARMAC video takes down RBG. And FISC/FISA takes down Roberts. And El Chapo bribes take down Congress. This would qualify as an EXTRAORDINARY OCCASION & Trump could justify adjournment. COVID alone justifies it for safety.
10) HOW TRUMP CAN ADJOURN CONGRESS #QANON
Learn the term RECESS APPOINTMENTS. It is the biggest nightmare any Liberal could ever face. Any RECESS APPOINTMENTS can serve until then next Congress when they need a formal hearing. We will control both Houses by the next Congress.
11) HOW TRUMP CAN ADJOURN CONGRESS #QANON
The 117th Congress convenes on 1/4/21 which happens to be EXACTLY 1111 days after the 12/21/17 EO on trafficking. Odds? I expect a super majority in both Houses by then if we adjourn Congress because we can clean up ALL Election Fraud.
Footnote: Trump did say that judges need to be approved to help fight COVID (so there is his emergency powers legal pretext), and if the Congress doesn't approve them (which they won't), then he will adjourn the Congress to make them all immediate recess appointments.
