One of these days the citizens of this country are going to have to decide if we want a constitutional president or a constitutional king for four years......
Every president for the last 80 years has been handed more and more independent authority by the Congress......... as it acts to free itself from pesky tasks. Wanna start a war? Go Ahead!, Wanna stop oil drilling? Go Ahead. Wanna keep Boeing from opening a factory in South Carolina? Go Ahead!
The latest of these power handovers has been proposed by Senator 'Chuckyou' Schumer, with Senate Bill 679, a Bill which would end the Senate's authority to 'Advise & Consent' on high federal appointments by the POTUS. More than 200 high positions would be exempted from their review, pesky little work tasks that they are anyway.
If you Google Senate Bill 679 you'll get hits all over the place - From the Heritage Foundation to the Blog world. I'll link you here to the the briefest but most comprehensive.
You'll note that even 7 Republicans including Mitch McConnell have signed on.. How about swifter action by these inventors of the three day work week, , not more abrogation of responsibilities!!
Hmmm, I wonder if you can sue a whole Senate for 'Dereliction of Duty"?
If you recall your history books, our Forefathers offered George Washington a crown - and he refused it..... as well as a third term. Now we have a US Senate that's trying to crown the POTUS by going AWOL in it's responsibilities!
I'm proud to note that neither Texas Senator is on that short list of Senate RINO's!
