Not enough to elect Harris/Walz.

28. I Never Said It Was.

It was just a proposal I’d read about - it’s not my idea. But it was suggested elsewhere as a way to 1) try to get the Repukes to do their jobs, and if not 2) provide a way around them and their intransigence. There would be a legal argument to be made that if the Senate Repukes are going to deny any/all appointments a vote, they have abrogated their constitutional duty, and leave the President with no other options.

There are literally thousands of positions in the federal government that are appointments, and thus require a Senate vote. Holding those up because they can means the government cannot function. The threat of going around them might make them hold an up/down vote instead.

Again, NOT my idea, nor am I saying that I advocate for it. I’m simply tossing out and explaining an idea that I had read about. And with that, I’m done, not going to continue a back and forth on this.
