GOP senators have been dictating to POTUS for 3+ years.

No, we will not allow you to fire Sessions. You have to wait until after midterms.

No you cannot appoint John Ratcliffe to run the DNI. Only swamp dwellers are allowed to run the DNI.

Etc.

The GOP Senate is as bad as the IC. They have seven ways from Sunday to stop MAGA--and they are arrogant about doing it.

"He may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper."

He is going to force them into adjournment and then make his recess appointments.

If they challenge and go to court he will cite Article 2, Section 3 that gives him the power in extraordinary occasions (like a global pandemic and a situation where all 50 states have declared disasters and the President is using war powers to manage commerce)... SCOTUS leaning 5/4 to the constitutionalists, will very likely side with the President.
