BREAKING: Mitch McConnell just shut it down. No recess appointments, no cabinet approvalsāTrumpās team is officially locked out.
This isnāt just a casual move; the Supreme Court has made it clear that the Senate must recess or adjourn for at least 10 days before a president can make unilateral appointments.
But hereās the catch: pro-forma sessions keep the Senate technically āopenā during long breaks, with a lone senator showing up to open and close the chamberāno real business, just optics. And the House plays its part too, blocking any chance for the Senate to fully adjourn.
McConnellās maneuver leverages these rules to maximum effect, ensuring Trumpās team is stalled at every turn.
Tactical genius or just petty politics? Either way, the gridlock is real.
