Mr. Constitution Hour by Douglas V. Gibbs

Mr. Constitution Hour by Douglas V. Gibbs: Recess Appointments, Compact of Resistance, and which federal departments we need to constitutionally get rid of -- There are concerns about the likelihood of some of Donald Trump's department head picks being confirmed by the U.S. Senate, so the Trump team has threatened using recess appointments to get them in. Is that constitutional? And, even if it is, would it be wise to take that route? How likely is it? Mr. Constitution explains. Then, Blue State governors and attorney generals have banded together to create a compact called Governors Safeguarding Democracy. Is it constitutional? And, finally, Douglas V. Gibbs addresses the call by Trump to eliminate the Department of Education. Can he? Is it a good idea? What other federal departments may be unconstitutional and either need to be canned, or refined? Mr. Constitution explains.
