Aren't these the same 'DEMOCRATS' (RINO's) that have been trampling underfoot the Constitution for let's say about the past 70-100 years ?

RINOs already fighting TRUMP Republican senators are pouring cold water on the idea that President-elect Trump could force the Senate into an extended recess next year so that he would be able to fill key positions in his Cabinet without going through the Senate confirmation process.

Republican senators and aides say that Trump allies who claim that the incoming president would have power under Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution to force an extended recess don’t understand how Congress really works.

And they warn that Trump would trample on the Constitution’s separation of powers if he tries to force the Senate to take a recess of 10 days or longer to get around the chamber’s responsibility to provide “advice and consent” on executive branch nominees.

Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), a senior member of the Judiciary Committee, said he doesn’t think the Constitution’s Article II gives a president the authority to force the Senate — or the House, for that matter — to take a recess.

“I don’t think so,” he said. “The separations of powers doctrine is pretty fundamental: Three coequal branches of government. One branch can’t commandeer the other two. I think that would be the outcome.”

Several of Trump’s Cabinet picks are facing potentially strong opposition from Senate Republicans, even after former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) withdrew his name from consideration to serve as attorney general Thursday after several GOP senators raised concerns about allegations against him of sexual misconduct and illicit drug use.

Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.), a close ally of incoming Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.), says it would be “extremely difficult” for Trump to force the Senate into a long recess.
