Congressional Republicans plan to block President Barack Obama from appointing a director for the new U.S. consumer agency over the August congressional recess.
A spokesman for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell confirmed on Tuesday that the Senate would not fully recess for the August break. Instead, it would hold several "pro forma" sessions that prevent so-called "recess appointments."
How the hell does shit like this happen to a Democratic president with a Senate controlled by Democrats? Can you imagine a Republican-controlled Senate allowing minority Democrats to do this to a Republican president?
Harry Reid must go! What an embarrassment!
