The President can’t make a recess appointment at this time because Congress is in PRO-FORMA (=BS) session and has to vote on appointments.

The President cannot invoke the new law and increase the debt ceiling because Congress is not in session and can’t hold a vote within the fifteen-day window.

Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t think you can believe both those things at once.

CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICANS=HATEFUL ANTI-AMERICAN TALIBAN, though i heard taliban is in negotiation now.
So GOP in Congress is worse .

Although recess appointments that occur while the Senate is at least pretending to conduct business every three days are rare, they are rare for a very simple reason. Few people in American history have done more to obstruct American governance than Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and his fellow Senate Republicans. As such, it has rarely been necessary for a president to use his constitutionally granted authority to appoint officials during a very short recess.
There are no modern precedents for McConnell-style mass obstructionism, and there is no Supreme Court decision considering how long senators must be out of Washington before recess appointments are allowed. There was, however, a showdown during the Bush Administration over President Bush’s decision to recess appoint Judge William Pryor to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. In Evans v. Stephens, that court considered whether Pryor’s appointment was invalid because it occurred during a very short legislative break. This court is the highest legal authority ever to weigh in on the question of whether a break in the Senate’s calendar must last a certain number of days before a recess occurs, and it answered that question with an unambiguous “no”:
The Constitution, on its face, does not establish a minimum time that an authorized break in the Senate must last to give legal force to the President’s appointment power under the Recess Appointments Clause. And we do not set the limit today.
There are a number of well-established precedents demonstrating the president’s authority to make recess appointments during very brief recesses. In 1903, when the first session of the 58th Congress ended, President Theodore Roosevelt made over 160 recess appointments during a recess that lasted only a fraction of a day. Similarly, President Truman twice made recess appointments during recesses that lasted just a handful of days.

So, in order for things to improve, Obama needs to go, or he needs to capture a super majority in both houses?

Right?

So can I pencil you in as a Romney voter?
 
You don't have to.

You're here lamenting the fact that Obama can't get anything done.

I just though I'd point out that I agree and we should replace him as soon as possible.

Glad to see you're coming around!

Obama has done a lot and will do enough, as seems he realized now that the GOP is a lying plague destroying America.
too bad he will not go full Stalin on pieces of sub humans in Congress
