As President, can Biden order an FBI investigation of Tulsi Gabbard and present it to the Senate?

Also include Pete Hegseth and others. Pre-empt the recess appointment possibility.

1. Could but won't.

2. I doubt an FBI investigation would offer much, if anything, we don't already know or suspect.

But, I'm OK with one.

3. Good idea!

And, for fucks sake joe, pardon Hunter!

9. It wasn't my idea

I saw it on Reddit and wondered how people would react to it.

4. How would it pre-empt any recess appt.

If the Senate would confirm, it would confirm. It's not like what would amount to a targeted report ambiguous between patriotic and partisan motivations would matter to true believers.

In this case, the Executive can advise the Senate but the Senate is free to leave it sitting on the table. Plus it wouldn't be this Senate but the new Senate.

7. Good point

I guess it could get the information out there and create more pressure to reject, but if they're determined to do a recess or confirm no matter what, it won't affect them.

10. Yes he could. Supremes said he has .... I M M U N I T Y !!!!!!!!

11. Ha!

You got me there! Well done!

6. According to Lawrence O., a recess is very unlikely.

It would have to be a recess of both houses of Congress, and voted upon by both houses.

8. According to John Roberts...

...he could have her beheaded or simply killed by Seal Team 6. He won't, but he could. According to John Roberts and the Supreme Court.
