it's not the same power with advice and consent. withed a ve ed advice and conse serve for the rest of your life. francis perkins served through four presidential administrations. roosevelt, one, two, three, and truman. if alive, serving today based on one confirmation. they were not think that those support to officing would be necessarily changing every time there was a presidential election has as become our election even when it's the same party. they may have assumed that someone appointed to the office would serve forever. so the recess appointment was truly seen as something more temporary. before you have the entitlement to serve for the rest of your life -- >> let me just follow that up, and that is i still don't understand other than the senate staying in session, basically forever, that is not adjourning at all. how they protect their right to participant. and what. >> i'll make one suggestion. the senate of every political persuasion should tell political persuasion, we think this is a proper accommodation. you should no

my question is, the senator's role is to give advice and consent. senators, just to be clear, you don't have any problem with mr. corker, did you? >> i don't have any personal problem with them. i'm sure he's a wonderful human being. >> you probably think he is qualified for the job? >> i feel that he possesses professional qualifications which might well serve him well in the right of government positions. >> let me put up slide five up on the board. do you see -- gordon grigg was the white house counsel to president bush will be testifying on the next panel of this hearing. and his view is that you actually would be an unconstitutional act for senator. let me read to you what he said. and i quote but i believe use of senate cloture rule to permanently block nominations conflicts with the constitution's advice and consent clause. so, senator lee, is your message to mr. gray that it doesn't, he doesn't know the law? >> i certainly would never set. i have enormous respect for mr. gray. i can certainly from but i also consider him something of a role

lincoln had great advice in that regard. he said leadership is staying a little ahead of those who are led, but not too afar, not too far ahead where you lose contact with them. third, a leader must be able to persevere, and i have always liked the quote that an invincible determination can accomplish almost anything, and therein lies the distinction between great men and little men. and finally, a leader must listen. dean rusk probably said it best. the best way to persuade is with your ears. a good leader is always learning. i learned a good deal from my friend trent lot, as i did from my colleagues who are here today. i mentioned some of them, dave mccurdy and chet edwards i did not mention earlier, but i appreciate very much the lessons of leadership they brought to work everyday. i learned a lot from my friend trent lott and if you is not read it, i strongly urge you the read "learning cats" because it is how one leader learned how the lead in these times of turbulence, and we did a lot of cat herding and i'm pleased to

they took the advice of others over the top of that and said this is not legally appropriate, this is done for politically swift to make him look tough. he is in an election year and look tough like i'm going to force these things down their throat and look manly. it opens up all this action and all the actions of the nrb will suddenly go to court so he can politically look better in a campaign year, but this will drag out all of these cases for years now in litigation, it's frustrating to me. that we have to sit and discuss, what are the issues of litigation when this was a settled issue two years ago. the new process steel, as i go through the arguments that i pulled up, he looks directly at chief justice roberts doing oral arguments at the supreme court and discussing the empty positions. ask a question, and the recess point power doesn't work why? and he responds, this is the obama administration deputy general, the recess appointment power can work in a recess. i think the office has opined that the recess has to be longer than three days. this seems fairly clear that it's not ab

the job that they want may take them to a particular place, so my advice to them is don't buy a homeway, don't use that va guaranteed home loan right away, wait until you find that job, because that job is going to dictate where you live. because once you buy that home, it's a huge purchase and so then what do you do with it if you have to go someplace else and then you have to sell that home. so it's a very big decision. >> that goes for veterans and anybody else looking to move around the country for a new job. for service members in particular, you talk about a credit freeze, many opt to put on their reports when they are deployed. when they come back, when should and how should they apply for lines of credit? >> when they come back, i always recommend they call the credit agency and say hey, would you remove my credit freeze, i'm looking for credit, now i'm think about buying a home and doing those kind of things with my credit report right now. so they just need call one of those agencies and they will call the other credit agencies, and then they should be good to go. >> june,

when he allows important advice and consent positions to remain vacant? i remember from at least from o kill a program was to not send the nomination up. let it cry foul. let it have an acting there who was afraid to do anything and that is a traditional obstruction of congress' ability to pass laws and to oversight it and make sure. isn't that an oversight of the duty? >> congress blocks appropriation' writer, a clear statutory duty, is it not a violation then of a president's take care clause and being so powerful, should he cgo and withdraw money from the treasury? >> let me add on to that one thing, an example. here's a post out there in the federal housing finance administrati administration. for 3 1/2 years. as imposed con zer orships, hasbroed $150 billion for bailouts, and is that everything and we have in that office somebody the president hasn't bought it from nominating. >> and it's no way to run a railroad. the answer is, yes, the president is slighting his duty to take care that the laws are oh we. >> constitution, in regard to nominations as

what i think was a problem was this meshing of economic advice and political advice.de the mistake of superimposing the political advice on the economic advice he was giving the president. i think the president should have had unvarnished economic advice from the economic advisers. then he could hudle with his political advisers and figure out the best course for getting this implemented. the problem with meshing the two, they shaded the number down and that led to the sense they were closer to the mark than they were. that was a mistake. >> like your core criticism is the president can't be asked to make decisions if he's not given the full frame of what the decision implies. >> exactly. >> and that making political management decisions without revealing the frame of the fact, 30 million jobs, whatever it is, is that really the greatest risk in the white house. is that fair? >> i think that's right. the president needs to have every piece of information in front of him, needs to know exactly how far away he is from the ideal. when you have an economic adviser interna

if i had one piece of advice for majority leaders, i agree with tom, remember, that you have a role, and you have a, you know, you have to work with the president, but i also have a piece of advice for the presidents, meet with the leaders regularly, weekly, on personal basis. not just in groups. i used to, you know, plead with president bush to get harry reid to sit in the back of the po portico and look at the great washington monument, and see what to do, and then i realized that i guess that these two won't have a drink. of course -- [ laughter ] harry is a mormon and bush was a tea totaler, and they never met like that, and shows you what lubrication can do, and if those would have had a drink, no telling what could have gotten done [ laughter ] >> if you could stand up and identify yourself. >> laura, the executive director of the henry jackson foundation and we are so glad to be a part of the forum today with the bipartisan policy center, so thank you so much to the senators for these revealing remarks and so many of the aspects that you talk about leadership are intangible, b
