As the Unconstitutional military actions, Unconstitutional Executive Orders, Unconstitutional regulations that Obama has the various government agencies issue so he can keep his name off of them, so he could cowardly hide behind their skirts, continue to mount almost unchecked by the Cowards in Congress, Americans are paying the price.

The POTUS has added another Unconstitutional Act to the ever growing list of violations of the COTUS which seems to have no end in sight. The latest violation (which it may not be before you read this article) is the recess appointments Richard Cordray to lead the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and of three nominees to serve on the National Labor Relations Board.

They argue that all President have made recess appointments and some of them could be considered Unconstitutional. Sounds like two little kids arguing “Sally did it so I can do it too!”  Two wrongs don’t make a right and these appointments are particularly threatening to the separation of power clause because not only does it take away the rights of the people, but fraudulent since the Senate was still in session.

Then we have the Justice Department chiming in that the recess appointments were completely Constitutional and the media are slashing that news all over TV and radio, under Republican rule you might be able to trust that statement but coming from the group of criminals that committed an act of war against Mexico it is sad to admit, as an American we can’t trust anything the highest ranking law enforcement officials in the land do or say.

We all know that Obama has only one use for the COTUS and that’s in the bathroom.  The Justice Dept. which is just the mouth piece for Obama because it is a part of the Executive Branch of Government, who is the head of the Executive Branch, the President, would lie through their teeth just like Obama does every time he opens his mouth.

But no one can be trusted less than the media, the segment of America that will continually feed a steady stream of lies and half truths to the brain dead 15 second sound bite portion of the population who lack the will to do research on their own and the ability to understand what the COTUS is and how it is suppose to function.

The Constitution reads as follows “The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.”

The President and the Justice Dept. must have a reading and comprehension problem or is it me?

The Constitution reads as follows “The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen DURING the Recess of the Senate.”  To me that statement says only if during a Senate recess, which historically has meant they were gone for a period of more than 72 hours or 3 days if someone dies or quits or goes to jail (I am not sure about the last one with this administration), then and only then can the President appoint someone to fill the vacated position.

The media will never add anything to any statement released from the Executive branch of  Government, and it is the media in most cases that drives the conversation because they are lazy, tells half truths or outright lies.

Don’t let the media drive the conversation if you know and understand the Constitution you can save yourself a lot of time and aggravation in dealing with others not so well informed.
