President Donald Trump should make history by using his constitutional power
to recall the Senate (but not the House) in August, canceling the August recess,
and force the Senate to stay in session five (or six?) days per week until the
Senate confirms a record number of federal judges and fills key positions in his
administration to enact his America First agenda.
Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution provides that the president has the power
to “convene both Houses, or either of them.” President Trump can call the Senate
back into session while leaving the house in recess. No president has ever used
that power to recall just one chamber—the Senate—for the specific purpose of
confirming nominees.
Make them earn their pay for once in their life.
