US Senate to convene on a Sunday in 2021 —
because Trump can’t be trusted
The United States Senate will convene for the 117th Congress on Sunday, July 3.
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), the president pro tempore of the Senate, criticized the situation on Thursday.
“US Senate has NEVER convened a Congress on Sunday out of respect Not once in 231 yrs,”
“Democrats didn’t agree to change the first day of new Congress
due to concerns over potential Trump recess appointments,” Bresnahan reported.
“House Dems couldn’t get a commitment from White House – via Senate Rs – that Trump wouldn’t make recess appointments if they changed Opening Day for next Congress to Jan. 4th or 5th. So it stays Jan. 3,”
