Senate blocks Trump from making recess appointments over break
By Jordain Carney - 08/03/17 07:40 PM EDT

The Senate blocked President Trump from being able to make recess appointments on Thursday as lawmakers leave Washington for their summer break.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), doing wrap up for the entire Senate, locked in nine "pro-forma" sessions — brief meetings that normally last roughly a minute.
 
The move, which requires the agreement of every senator, means the Senate will be in session every three business days throughout the August recess.

Nothing is so urgent that a president would have to place someone in a position during a recess.

I guess, if you like big spending, big government and are happy with the status quo than yes, keeping Trump from implementing his agenda is good.

It was done to prevent Trump from firing & replacing Sessions while they were gone.  When you leave the house, you may install a baby gate to prevent your dog from peeing on the carpet and chewing up the furniture.  Same concept.
