While our attention is on the debt ceiling look what Charles Schumer (D–NY) and his buddies have been up to….
On March 30, 2011, Senator Charles Schumer (D–NY) with 15 cosponsors, including the Senate Majority and Republican Leaders, as well as six other Democratic Senators, six other Republican Senators, and an Independent Senator,[1] introduced in the Senate the Presidential Appointment Efficiency and Streamlining Act of 2011 (S. 679). The bill was referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
The bill reduces the number of presidential appointments that require the consent of the Senate and establishes within the executive branch a Working Group on Streamlining Paperwork for Executive Nominations. Individuals nominated to senior executive offices suffer slow and detailed background investigations and mounds of duplicative paperwork before a President sends their nominations to the Senate. After nomination, many nominees suffer time-consuming inaction or time-consuming and excruciating action as the Senate proceeds (or does not) with consideration of the nomination. The sponsors of S. 679 have identified a valid problem, but proposed the wrong solution. Congress should not enact S. 679.
We can never, ever forget that Congress is completely controlled by Rinos and Democrats, and there is no distinction between the two. This article from the Heritage Foundation describes a bill that is “totally unconstitutional” supported by all the leadership in the Senate, both Republican and Democrat.
How can that be, unless they are subversive, uninformed, don’t care, are power drunk, or all of the above? Or better yet, they are all politicians trying to avoid the difficult issues. If they let the president hire his own people without confirmation they don’t have to vote against the bad ones.
Regardless of the reason, they are certainly not Constitutionalists. I don’t think they even understand the original intent and may not have read the Constitutional at all. This legislation just emphasizes why we must be ever vigilant and vocal about what is going on in Washington.
In this case, call your Senators because they will certainly not take action unless we bring this to the light of day.
Oh, by the way, if this passes we move one step closer to the monarchy Obama wants.
