Et comme promis, ci-dessous à dérouler, quelques conseils biblio sur chaque épisode de #Presidents! sur @franceinter si vous voulez mettre 1 livre in extremis dans la valise...(NOTA BENE: ce sont les livres que j'ai lus, pas de souci d'exhaustivité universitaire...😊)

I truly appreciate the 12 gauge shotgun that @realDonaldTrump proves himself to be day after day.
But I wish he would get the terms he uses right.

If he "#adjourns" the #Congress, they will go #home. And the #Constitution gives him the power to adjourn Congress when the House and the Senate cannot agree on adjournment.
But what he wants to do is call the Congress back to Washington. That act is the #convening of Congress.

#HarryTruman did this, just months in advance of his election victory over #ThomasDewey.
What did Truman do?

The video of his remarks at a CNN town hall shine a light on his plans:
Yes.
@TomSteyer just announced that he would dictate from the #WhiteHouse, using "the Executive emergency powers of the presidency," "how [companies] can generate electricity, what kind of cars they can build, what kind of buildings we’re gonna have...”
