Like children arguing
The President makes appointments without the approval of the Senate because he says they are not really in session. The Senate Republicans say that they are technically in session and the President cannot make the appointments under the Constitution without the Senate's approval. They are both gaming the system. Isn't it time for our leaders to start acting like adults?

Provision 5 National Emergencies
A “National Emergency” is a new concept in the New Constitution. When a National Emergency is declared by a vote of The People, certain actions are authorized by the national government. The ability to have a vote of The People in a timely manner is now possible because of electronic communications via radio, television and the internet. This Provision would require the organization of a capability to hold national elections quickly and safely.
When in a state of National Emergency:
- Congress does not have to balance the budget
- Congress may declare war or authorize the use of Military Forces outside the United States

3.2 Compensation
Currently, Congress sets the compensation for the Supreme Court Justices. This puts the compensation in the area of political debate and decisions which can only cause problems.
The New Constitution corrects this problem. First, in the definition of terms in the Preamble, there is a definition of compensation:
“Compensation” includes current and future monies accrued or paid to a Person by the United States, plus items of value accrued or paid for by the United States including, but not limited to, living expenses, health care and retirement benefits.
In the New Constitution, the House of Representatives can recommend a change in compensation for the Supreme Court Justices. The recommend is given to The People and The People vote “yes” or “no” on the recommendation. In a binding referendum, the “owners” now approve the compensation of its Supreme Court Justices.
This Section also approves ten days of vacation a year for each for the Supreme Court Justices.
Section 1.7 also requires a binding referendum for approval of compensation for members of Congress.
