President Donald Trump warned that he may adjourn both the House of Representatives and the Senate under recess provisions to appoint federal positions while noting that it has never been done before in the history of the United States.

The president, during a Wednesday night briefing, said he’s considering exercising his “constitutional rights to adjourn both chambers of Congress” over held-up nominees, describing the Democratic-led efforts to block his appointments as “a scam.”

The U.S. Constitution’s Article II, Section 3 stipulates that a president “may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them… He may adjourn them to such time as he shall think proper.

Trump said in his briefing that the “Senate should either formally vote on my nominees or it should formally adjourn so that I can make recess appointments. We have a tremendous number of people who have to come into government, and now more so than ever before because” of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) virus, a type of novel coronavirus that causes the disease COVID-19.

“If the House will not agree… I will exercise my Constitutional authority to adjourn both Chambers of Congress. The current practice of leaving town while conducting phony pro forma sessions is a dereliction of duty the American people can’t afford during this crisis,” he added. “It is a scam what they do.”

Trump noted that the move to adjourn both chambers of Congress has perhaps never been done before.

“But we need those people here,” he said, referring to the held-up appointments in Congress. “We need people for this crisis, and we don’t want to play any more political games.”

thank you Father God for our President who is not a politician but a builder and shaker, and just what our corrupt government needs. Make all crooked roads straight before him and bless the works of his hands. In Jesus name, Amen

President Trump…Just do it! We need to take back our country. They are holding us hostage and using us for their own purposes. Enough! And why are they being paid throughout all of this? It’s a paid holiday for them. Strike while the iron is hot!! Put on the full Armor of God!

Pelosi and Schumer give President Trump no choice as their obstruction using rules made by them are no different than the opposition to Jesus Christ by the then Pharisees….
