Senate blocks Trump from making recess appointments over break

The Senate blocked President Trump from being able to make recess appointments on Thursday as lawmakers leave Washington for their summer break.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), doing wrap up for the entire Senate, locked in nine "pro-forma" sessions — brief meetings that normally last roughly a minute.

The move, which requires the agreement of every senator, means the Senate will be in session every three business days throughout the August recess.

Only because the don't trust Trump.

Given what happened today with a grand jury getting started they didn't want Trump to fire AG Sessions , name a new AG who would fire Mueller.

Probably part of the McConnell/Schumer debt limit and appointees deal.

It's not unusual, but maybe a bit more meaningful in this presidency compared to others.
