Things Trump can do while congress is out? - The answer is in the U.S. Constitution - Article 1 Section 6: "The Senators and Representatives shall ... in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be PRIVILEGED FROM ARREST DURING THEIR ATTENDANCE AT THE SESSION OF THEIR RESPECTIVE HOUSES, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place." So, if they are all NOT be in attendance during the month of August their "privilege from arrest" is GONE!!!!
