Lucky... 0 #2 March 28, 2010 Quotehttp://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/03/27/obama-makes-recess-appointments-vacant-administration-posts/ I just posted this in a new thread earlier about Obama's recess appointments. And actually, it's sending out the clowns. Oh well, have the OT Law which was designed to make working people ineligible for OT pay but req them to worl it by giving them a fancy title. Now we have humans back in the offfice; too bad - so sad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am THE PRESIDENT. Both Republican and Democratic presidents have made recess appointments, which circumvents the Senate's authority to confirm nominees, when they could not overcome delays. President George W. Bush made more than 170 such appointments in his two-term presidency. President Bill Clinton made nearly 140. Both sides use procedural maneuvering to try to out-general the other. Both sides use: Senatorial courtesy; filibusters; cloture; vetoes; pocket-vetoes; overrides of vetoes; recess appointments; etc., etc. That's the playing field; it affect, and is used, by, both sides equally and with vigor. Always has been the case; always will be. Thus, I have little sufferance for people on either side who whine about it, like John McCain has now done TWICE this week, the little crybaby. A knowledge of history is a wonderful thing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy9o8 0 #6 March 28, 2010 If it bothers you so much that Presidents of both parties have historically used the recess appointment, then you have the right as a US citizen to file suit in Federal court to try to block it on Constitutional grounds. Go for it. Chances are, if it gets to the Supreme Court, at least Clarence Thomas will agree with you (once his law clerks explain it to him). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rushmc 18 #8 March 28, 2010 Quote http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/03/27/obama-makes-recess-appointments-vacant-administration-posts/ all Presidents have made recess appointments and the next one will as well. But this one is a crock of shit. This appointment got a vote in the Senate and was rejected.

After your clown, who pushed for his whole 1st term to rewrite the 1938 FLSA with the Overtime Bill/Law to make some people ineligible for OT pay, I think we have to do a lot of unfucking before we're even, so don't worry too much.

But now he must function in a different role. I can't find the quote online; but I remember watching a TV interview of Gerald Ford after he'd left office. He explained that it's all a matter of perspective: when he was House Minority Leader, he'd get annoyed at the stubbornness of the President. When he was President, he'd get annoyed at the bone-headedness of the Congress. So it goes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
