Wicker Speaks on Senate Floor in Opposition to the President's Recess Appointments.mp4
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: "I am deeply concerned that this presumptuous action by the President poses profound and dangerous implications. As others have suggested, President Obama's abuse of his recess appointment power could lead to unilateral "recess" appointments anytime, such as during lunch or in the middle of the night. As I said before, it is my hope that both parties will rise to defend the separated powers our Founders put in place to prevent tyranny and the misuse of authority."
