John Fitzgerald Kennedy Jr. @MrJohnJnr - THEY JUST LOCKED THE PRESIDENT OUT OF HIS OWN POWER
While Trump is fighting to staff the administration America voted for, Senate “leadership” is running a quiet blockade.
John Thune sent everyone home for the August break… then quietly scheduled a string of pro forma sessions so the Senate never actually recesses.
Result? Zero recess appointments. Not one.
Then scheduled 11 pro forma sessions for one reason only: to stop President Trump from filling critical positions.
Reagan: 240
Bush 41: 77
Clinton: 139
Bush 43: 171
Obama: 32
Trump: ZERO
This isn’t about “regular order.”
This is the institutional club protecting itself from a president they still refuse to fully accept.
The same people who spent years crying about norms are now inventing new ones to keep the swamp in place.
