WASHINGTON, DC -- Senator Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) on Thursday spoke on the Senate floor regarding the President's recent appointments of Richard Cordray as the director to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and three new members to the National Labor Relations Board. The President claimed that Congress was in recess while the Senate was in session, setting a troubling precedent.
In part, Wicker said: "Reversing years of precedent, the Administration is asserting that the executive branch now has the authority to decide when Congress is in session.
"This presumptuous action by the President goes far beyond the limited powers he is granted by our Constitution. It is an affront to the democratic checks and balances established by our Founders and constitutes a gross violation of precedent set by those who have come before us."
