Is there anybody on the board who knows the procedure for bringing bills and cabinet and judicial confirmations to the senate floor for a vote?
I though that the Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell held the power to decide, not senate minority leader Chuck Schumer.
Why doesn't Mitch McConnell censor Chuck Schumer for obstruction?
Mich McConnell cannot do anything until a nominee is approved through committee and every committee in the Senate is controlled by Republicans. Mitch McConnell would look like an idiot if he censors Schumer. The guy is held up in committee till he untangles his personnel finance and that came from John McCain.
So again I have to spend the time to explain to the OPP misinformed.
Schumer has no authority to hold up a nominee because the committees are controlled by Republicans.
Process to appointments
President submits the name and position
Then they must pass through a series of investigation by the FBI, the IRS and the office of Government Ethics.
( ALL NOMINEES MUST FILL OUT A PUBLIC DISCLOSURE REPORT ON HIS OR HER BACKGROUND FOR THE POSITION)
When all of the above is complete President submits the Name along with all approved paperwork. Office of Presidential Personnel is required to review and make sure all required paperwork is complete.
Name then submitted to the Senate which starts the Advice and Consent process as per Article 1 of the constitution then the nominee is submitted to the Senate committee with jurisdiction over the nominees appointed position. Committee approved is required before the full senate vote.
The biggest problem these republican lead committees have is Trumps nominees refused to complete the required paperwork so they get held up in committee which Schumer has absolutely no control.
Then Trump tells you the democrats are holding up his nominees and that is a flat out lie. When you have control in the Senate you have 100% control over the nominating process, committee chairman, and a simple majority in the Senate.
The only complaint I have heard from Shumer is what do I have to do with this process all I have is a vote. Tell the White House to complete the proper paperwork.
But Trump being a pathological GD liar tells his base it's Schumar only to hid his own incompetence in the White House staff. But his base just believes everything he says.
( SO MITCH McCONNELL SHOULD CENSOR HIMSELF AND THAT IFIOT IN THE WHITE HOUSE)
