2020-04-15 | Trump Threatens to Adjourn Congress to Push Through Nominees | Time
'Constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley said on Twitter the Constitution gives a president authority in “extraordinary occasions” to convene or adjourn Congress. '
'Trump says he’s had enough and warns that he will seek to adjourn both chambers of Congress if lawmakers don’t formally declare a proper recess. '
'In recent years, Congress has refused to fully adjourn during most breaks precisely to prevent the president from making recess appointments. '
'(WASHINGTON) — Citing the coronavirus, Donald Trump is threatening unprecedented action — adjourning both houses of Congress — to entice the Senate to approve more of his nominees. '
'Trump said, “Perhaps it’s never been done before, nobody’s even sure if it has, but we’re going to do it.”The Constitution does not spell out a unilateral power for the president to adjourn Congress. '
