SECRET: If you were listening closely you might have heard Trump mention a 'secret' he had with Speaker Johnson. It is abundantly clear that if Trump wants to put his dream team together he's going to need to make a BUNCH of recess appointments. The Senate is unlikely to agree to adjourn so he can use his authority to adjourn both chambers as long as Johnson cooperates. Is that the 'secret' Trump mentioned?

Under Article II, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution, the President has the authority to adjourn Congress in the case of a disagreement between the House and Senate over the time of adjournment. It's a power that has never been used, and its scope remains relatively untested

One House Must Request Adjournment

One of the chambers (in this case, likely the House of Representatives, led by Speaker Johnson) would formally seek to adjourn

Maybe. I would greatly prefer that Trump not have to pull any tricks to move in his team. The optics with the non-TDS DNC lemmings would not be one of unity.

It's not about caring for feelings; its about the lubricant that gets policies passed. Its just easier to not need to jam in an unlubed suppository.

Disclosure will help bring acceptance.
