Democrats Keeping Congress in Session
Posted by Michael Link on February 19, 2008 at 01:20 PM
Sen. Reid has done this before, keeping the Senate in "pro forma" sessions in order to make sure that Bush can't exploit loopholes to get around the oversight of Congress. And this time Speaker Pelosi's going to do the same.
Here's what this does, via the Politico:
Since neither chamber goes out for more than three days, Bush cannot take the dramatic step of calling the Congress back for the first special session since Harry Truman did it in 1948.
Even though the Republicans in Congress refused to extend the the Protect America Act, Democrats continue working on the issue through the recess.
