If TSF Is Allowed To Adjourn Congress

[gab13by13]

There is another cherry on top for Trump. He can adjourn Congress for 1 year.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

1. trumps fascism is now destroying every part of our government.

Trust me, food, housing, gas and everything to do with the cost of living will get worse as all your rights are given to Trump.

2. Nobody really knows, the power hasn't ever been used.

Eventually funding would run out and the government would partially shutdown.

His judges wouldn’t be confirmed, etc.

4. Not if he orders the departments to just keep spending.

Violating the appropriations clauses…hello, calling Robert’s immunity decision…that’ll handle it.

11. Without raising the debt ceiling, the markets would crash, and the US treasury bills become worthless.

Even Trump can’t prevent that.

14. Trillion dollar coin baby. Mint a couple a move on.

Market crashes are only a problem for folks who don’t know about them in advance.

9. SCOTUS says he can do whatever he wants to do.

[tritsofme]

12. Yeah, no.

[CincyDem]

3. Congress is required to meet once a year IIRC. So I guess technically he could do it.

And, if there’s a loophole that says there are multiple reading of the law, you know he’ll take the interpretation that favors his pocketbook.

7. Right.

Once a year is correct.

[unblock]

5. If he is needed to resolve a disagreement between house and senate as to how long to recess, yes

Though of course, then congress can't pass laws or actually confirm appointments. Nor can they hold "investigations" into woke or whatever theater they want to gin up.

I think Donnie just wants a week or so to get his temporary cabinet in place, then he needs congress back to distract everyone from his continued incompetence and horror show

[Walleye]

6. Donnie looks at Congress has some sort of admiration Society for him

[Biophilic]

8. Well he can't do it before Jan 20.

He’s only the president elect until then.

10. Then Joe should adjourn Congress for three months and appoint all the judicial vacancies.

I believe Kamala would do it in a heart beat if she had the power. Another reason for Joe to step down now or three weeks before Jan. 20.

[Fiendish Thingy]

13. It doesn't work the way you think it does. Nt

[tritsofme]

15. We certainly have active imaginations today!

16. trump can only use this power if one house had adjourned

trump cannot use this power unless there is a disagreement as to adjournment. That means that the House would have to vote adjourned in order for trump to try this trick

This power has never been used and so it is not clear how this will work
