Senate Bill 679 A Blatant Act of Treason Against America

Senate Bill 679 A Blatant Act of Treason Against America:

"On March 30th, 2011, Senator Chuck Shumer (D-NY) and 15 co-sponsors in the U.S. Senate proposed S679, The prseidential Appointment Efficiency and Streamlining Act. My how nice that sounds there, until we look into just what kind of streamlining they are talking about here.

In a nutshell they want to give the President the sole power to appoint people to very powerful positions within our government without the approval of the Senate, which just happens to be mandated by the U.S. Constitution in Article II, Section 2, which explains that the the “Appointments Clause” provides that the President:

… shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments. (emphasis mine)"
