Don't Make Me Use Article I, Section 5!

Al Kamen / The Washington Post:
The White House and the Senate are gearing up for their last battles over appointments as the Bush administration enters its final year. The detente the two sides reached over the Senate's August break -- which saw the Senate approve dozens of nominees in exchange for a no-recess-appointment pledge -- is over. That deal was reached in part because Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) dusted off an old weapon -- the pro forma session -- which would mean theoretically that the Senate would never be in recess. When both sides negotiate anew, that weapon looms large.
