should we be surprised or outraged about the idea that one branch of the executive branch which the n.s.a. is part of is collecting data on another branch of our government of congress. well i would think that it is an extremely alarming development we know from the revelations of edward snowden that the n.s.a. is violating and has violated for years the bill of rights to the constitution the first amendment the fourth amendment the fifth amendment the right of freedom of speech freedom of association freedom from unreasonable search and seizure etc freedom from self incrimination but this is the first time we've seen a violation of the constitution itself where the executive branch which is responsible for up holding the constitution of the united states is instead in violation. because the n.s.a. is part of the executive branch yes and do you know the president on the. in his vacation in hawaii yesterday the day before one of the comments that came out in one of the news conferences i don't think he made a specific stable one of the comments was that he is looking at and evaluating chan

and the way this will -- each branch has. and what the legislature has is the power of a purse. >> on the education foundation in australia, the full bench, what sort of precedent does this set it is deemed constitutional. determine where the senate is sitting and when these happen to be vacant. doesn't this create a situation where highly political appointments will be made during these sham breaks or recesses in the future and this is this where you want to head? >> we could talk about the efficiencies of the recess appointment process, they are many but let's talk about this. obviously it is a term limitation. of 2 two years. it is not the full presidential term. it is not the term of regulatory official. office and salary, of a federal judge. there are reasons a president might not want to make recess appointments and many limitations to this alternative. and barack obama was fairly reserved. 32 recess commissions for the great ronald reagan. a couple hundred by william jefferson clinton, compared to again close to a coup

ranch --the executive branch, always give the only informed. there were at times a spirit of debate as to what the executive branch wanted to do, what general hayden wanted to do, and the latitude that congress was able to provide to him and to the executive branch. through thisked process because we were conscious of balancing national security and civil liberties. there were times of course, and the president acknowledged that in the speech today, where he said large organization up.times grew up 0-- screw there were mistakes made at the national security agency, they may have stepped outside of their lane. they did come to congress, they explained what happened, and they explained the changes they were going to make, they were very conscious of big sure they stated the lane and did not break the law, and provide rotections tol p americans. it was a very effective way of working together, as the general said. the different branches of government were represented, and were well represented in the process. , we are going to continue our convers

the judicial branch as the senate-wield branch and then the senate branch. the big question centers around whether the president was in the right when he made his appointments to the nlrb two years ago. typically stephanie the president nominates people for positions to serve in the executive branch either as judges or to run federal agencies. then it's up to the senate to confirm them. the one loophole is if the senate is on recess. two years ago when the president pushed through these confirmation the senate was not in washington. they were technically in session but not here in town. the white house said that's the key. if the senate is not here they're recessed. the senate republicans have a very different interpretation. they say the recess only happens once a year in between legislative sessions. just because congress is not in washington does not mean that the president can move ahead. this is clearly a political fight. the white house upset bus senate republicans have blocked nominations. it has broader implications. >> obviously some really big stak

i don't think if you were to rule, it would be disruptive to the executive branch. i would hazard to say that most of those officials probably do not exercise much if any agency rulemaking. as for those who do, going forward, the government can solve the problem. there are a variety of doctrines that would limit anybody's ability to limit their actions. including the six-year statute. various finality issues. various disability doctrines. the defect officer -- de facto officer doctrine. i think this constellation explain why this is the first time the issue has reached the court into 25 years. this is not to say that her rule would not past -- have any past impact. but this court has never shied away from enforcing simply because it would have an impact. the structural issues exist to protect the people. we therefore believe that the court should be affirmed. i'm happy to answer additional questions >> thank you counsel. >> thank you mr. chief justice. this case is about who gets to decide whether the senate is in recess. our submission is that the senate gets to de

remember as well at the time the president and democrats controlled all three branches of government. so they didn't even entertain those republiian alternatives. and remember this. republicans say they're very much keen on reforming our immigration laws but not at the expense of offering millions blanket amnesty here. now that might make them stuck born to the president. the republicans say i makes them stubborn to something called fairness. so it goes, back and forth. if you were expecting a immediate sees fire from the president tomorrow night, let's say not so fast. enter former house leader tom delay says republicans should hold fast to those principles. the one that is got them 345 majority in the house and the man they call the hammer is right, might soon get them the majority in senate as well. tom, by your reasoning, blinking, budging dying anythg to sort of make bad policy you call the health care law better, wouldn't serve republins interests? >> i think, neil. you're absolutely right. republicans need to stand up for what they believe in. in this election we need a constit

constitution supposes what the history of all governments demonstrates, that the executive is the branch of power most interested in war and most prone to it. it is accordingly with studied care vested the question of war in the legislature. despite that original constitutional understanding, our history has not matched the notion that congress would always be the initiator of military action. congress has only declared war five times in the history of the united states, while presidents have initiated military action prior to any congressional approval more than 120 times. now, in some of these instances where the president has initiated war, congress has come back and either subsequently ratified presidential action, sometimes by a former approval or sometimes by informer approval such as budgetary allocation. but in other instances, including recently, presidents have acted and committed american military forces to military action without any congressional approval, and the senator from arizona mentioned the most recent one. president obama committed military force to nato, action aga

he came with an olive branch in one hand and a a fist in the other. we are heading into an election year, the clock is ticking. the president walked into that chamber as more or less a lame duck, joie. it stands the possibility of going into republican chrome, on the house side it is going to stay republican in all likelihood. extension of minimum wage, big ticket items, immigration, earlier in the year before politics schools everything. but he -- consumes everything. he says he's willing to go around washington. budget and spending bill even the farm bill give everybody hope in his view that the year doesn't have to be a partisan one. let's listen. >> as president i'm committed to makingashington work better and rebuilding the trust of the people who sent us here. and i believe most of you are too. last month, thanks to e work of democrats and republicans, congress finally produced a budget that undoes some of last year's severe cuts to education. not everybody got everything they wanted and we can still do more to invest in this country's future wh
