President Trump Has Legal Authority to CANCEL THE SENATE RECESS
The President has the Constitutional authority to call an “extraordinary session” of the Senate to vote on the SAVE AMERICA ACT and the CLARITY ACT.
This authority is found in Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution, which provides:
The President “may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses or either of them . . .”
In 1989, the Office of Legal Counsel of the Department of Justice issued a legal opinion confirming this point.
The Legal Opinion states: “The language and purpose of the Clause [Article. II, Sec. 3] make plain that the President may exercise this authority to convene the Senate during an intra-session break . . . We therefore conclude that the President has the power to CONVENE THE SENATE DURING THE PLANNED AUGUST RECESS.” [emphasis added]
Note: This formal Legal Opinion was issued 37 years ago—not dreamed up yesterday.
President Trump should exercise his authority to convene the Senate until such time as votes are taken on the Save America Act and the Clarity Act.
The President can’t force the Senate to pass these Acts, but he can make them stay in session until votes are taken.
The American people deserve to know where each Senator stands on these important matters BEFORE the November elections.
