Am I wrong, or did the Demon-rats keep Congress OPEN during Bush’s term to prevent him from doing this? Was it possible for Rs to do this, even if they’re in the minority??
Seems to me the junior senator from VA, James Webb, made an appearance each day during a recess in order to prevent Dubya from making any appointments. Why can't the pubbies do the same thing ... huh?
The Democrats kept the Senate open during the last two years of Bush's presidency (when the Donkeys first got control of the Senate) and held proforma sessions (or whatever it was called) for something stupid like 2 minutes a day in order to say that Congress was not in recess. The Republicans could not do the same, unless they held control of the Senate (and/or the House).
