Washington-President Elek Donald Trump submits the next leader of the Republican Senate before the election closed this week, writing in social media that anyone will be chosen, should transfer the chamber at the beginning of next year, so that he can appoint anyone who wants, without having to go through the trial confirmation.
“Every republican senator seeking the desired managerial position in the United States Senate must agree to stop the nomination (in the Senate!), Without which we will not be able to confirm people in a timely manner”, Trump “, Trump wrote. “Sometimes voices can take two years or more. That’s what they did four years ago and we can’t let it happen again. “
If the Senate had a break for a longer period after the inauguration day on January 20, he would assure Trump freely to make an appointment to the highest positions in the government, including the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of the Treasury, without the need to support the centric GOP GOP of the legislator. Republicans of the Senate are on the right track to a majority of 53 places, with one breed in Arizona, still undecided.
Texas Senator John Cornn, Florida Senator Rick Scott and South Dakota Sen. John Thune – who are competing for the position of the leader of the majority – Everything quickly adapted to their own social media posts about what is called break visits.
“It is unacceptable for the DS Senate to block the office of President @realdonaldtrump,” wrote Cornn in social media. “If so, we will stay in the session, including on weekends until they give up. In addition, the Constitution clearly gives the president’s rights to arrange a nomination.
“Article II, Section 2, clause 3: The president will have the right to complete all free jobs that may happen during the Senate break, providing commissions that expire at the end of the next session.”
Thune wrote: “We must act quickly and definitely to introduce the nominated president as soon as possible, and all options are on the table to make it happen, including nominations for a break. We cannot allow Schumer and the DEMS Senate to block the will of the American nation. “Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, is the leader of the majority of Senate.
Scott commented on the original post of Trump, saying that he agreed “100%”
“I will do everything to go through the nominations as soon as possible,” said Scott.
I skipping the advice and power of the Senate would probably not mean any interrogations of the committee for the nominees listed in the designations of the break, preventing them from responding to the questions of legislators about their experience and political goals.
This would prevent senators from the need to take hard votes on the floor, probably controversial nominees for Trump.
Trump just began to announce who he chooses posts in his next administration, calling “Tsar border,” UN ambassador and EPA administrator from Monday afternoon.
Supreme Court decision
The Senate has been avoided for years for over three days in the middle of the session, both in terms of republican and democratic.
Instead, when the Senate leaves Capitol Hill for weeks, the chamber organizes the so -called Pro Form session every three days to prevent visits during a break. These usually last just a few minutes and usually do not cover any legislative activities.
Pro Forma sessions partly result from a unanimous decision of the Supreme Court in June 2014, which maintained the president, can fill free places during the congress break, if it lasted longer than 10 days.
“In the light of historical practice, I will break more than 3 days, but less than 10 days is probably too short to face the clause,” judges wrote At the National Labor Relations Board against Noel Canning.
The case began after the then President Barack Obama made three nominations to the National Council of Labor relations in 2012, despite the fact that the Senate controlled by democratic sessions organized Pro Form sessions every few days.
Opposition to Obama’s visits
Republicans in Congress, including Thune and Cornyn, praised the Supreme Court’s decision, strongly criticizing Obama for trying to move around the Senate.
Thune released A Written statementSpeaking, the Supreme Court blocked Obama before trying to “violate the chapter of power.”
“When the president could not make an appointment at the Senate, he decided to ignore the law and try to end the congress,” Thune wrote. “I am glad that the Supreme Court unanimously rejected the attempt to circumvent the president. Today’s decision is confirmed by the fact that Congress, not the president, has the right to establish his own rules. “
Cornn criticized Obama for “unilateral actions”, which gave “the perception that he did not care about what Congress says.”
“In fact, this morning, the Supreme Court rebuked the President to an illegal appointment to a break – unconstitutional appointment to a break,” said Conyn during a floor speech, in accordance with a floor speech, in accordance with Congress record.
Scott was not a member of the Congress when the Supreme Court issued a ruling.
The Republican Senator Iowa Chuck Grassley at that time praised the “decision of the Supreme Court to annul the illegal nomination of President Obama.”
“Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution provides for only two ways in which presidents may appoint some officers: first, it provides that the president appoints and appoints various officers with the help of Senate’s advice,” said Grassley. “Secondly, he allows the president to have temporary meetings when the vacancy in one of these offices takes place when the Senate is during the break.”
During the first term of Trump, the Republicans of the Senate sent sessions pro forma as a way to avoid nomination to break and ensure that the Chamber had time to verify people who wanted to conduct some of the most powerful institutions in the country, including the Department of Defense.
All visits in the break that Trump could include in the future would expire at the end of the “next session” of the Senate, which means that he would have to go through this process again within two years, in accordance with report from an impartial congress research service.
Elections planned on Wednesday
The Republicans of the Senate will conduct elections on the leadership in secret elections on Wednesday to choose novel colleagues to fill the highest positions.
Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell, who had a republican leader since 2007, decided not to continue this role after the start of the novel congress, which led to a three -sided race between Connyn, Scott and Thune.
Whoever republicans choose as the next leader, along with other members of the management team, will have a significant role in determining the Senate program for the next two years, and also give the tone with the upcoming Trump administration.
They will also have to collect contracts with democrats regarding regulations, such as annual government financing bills and annual defense policy bills.
John Barrasso from Wylina works without opposition to the position of Bata, currently stored by Thune and earlier by Corn.
Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton and Joni Ernst iowa compete To maintain the managerial position of the conference chairman, currently owned by Barrassa.
Republicans will also elect the chairman of the Political Committee, the Vice President of the Conference and the Chairman of the National Republican Senator Committee in order to supplement the six -person Senate Steering Team.
