On July 31st, the House of Representatives passed a bill (261-116) that ends the consent process for Presidential appointees by the U.S. Senate. The Senate passed this overwhelmingly in 2011. The President is expected to sign this into law.
Why would the Congress abrogate its Constitutional duty to consent authority of presidential appointments? 95 House Republicans voted FOR this dereliction. The Senate was a voice vote, so no roll call. Our government is behaving... oddly to say the least.
I think this is worth noting. We are one step closer to a Caesar.
