Rep. Thomas Massie claimed that Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune are taking actions to block Trump from making recess appointments during Congress's summer recess. Some Republican senators are calling for either an end to the recess for confirmation of pending Trump nominees or for Johnson and Thune to allow recess appointments. Prominent figures express frustration with Senate leadership for their planned schedule, impacting Trump's ability to fill important staff positions during the recess.
Massie suggested that Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune are conspiring to prevent Trump from making recess appointments as Congress enjoys its usual summer break.
Massie criticized Speaker Johnson and Leader Thune for planning to convene-and-adjourn every 4 or 5 days to block Trump from making recess appointments.
Senator Mike Lee and others are urging Leader Thune to call for an actual recess so President Trump can make the necessary recess appointments.
Charlie Kirk emphasized that if the Senate does not cancel its summer break, Trump should be allowed to make recess appointments to deal with pending nominations.
