Or am I missing simething?

Yes. Elsewhere it is provided that the President can make appointments when the Senate is in adjournment. The Senate isn't that dumb.


Smart enough to not take vacations until Trump is sworn in? :)
Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes.

Recently, the Senate never goes into adjournment.

Obama made appointments, when most members were out of Washington. When the Senate stated they were still In Session.

SCOTUS ruled correctly, that only the Senate could say when they were in adjournment. And the Unconstitutional Appointments were vacated.

In the USA. A President has no power, or authority, over another Branch of Government. Nor can tell it how to do its business.


Bet they paid themselves while not technically adjourned.

And then pat themselves on the back believing they work hard, represent hard-working people and are doing things that allow us to rise?

Doubt they really believe that.

It is their job making us believe that.

And yes... They are laughing all the way to the bank.

Perhaps not laughing their way.
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ...
