Article II, Section 3 ACTION
To: Rep. Beyer
From: A constituent in Arlington, VA
November 18
I write with urgent concern about President-elect Trump's reported plan to use the House to trigger Article II, Section 3 powers to force Senate adjournment and install controversial nominees like Matt Gaetz and Tulsi Gabbard through recess appointments.
This scheme would require House cooperation in voting for adjournment to create an artificial "disagreement" with the Senate – turning the House into a weapon against constitutional confirmation powers.
I strongly urge you to:
- Publicly oppose any House role in forcing Senate adjournment
- Reject participation in this constitutional manipulation
- Support legislation protecting normal confirmation process
- Put constitutional duty above any pressure from the transition team
Will you commit to opposing this unprecedented abuse of Article II, Section 3?
