    While POTUS has Constitutional prerogative to recommend a nominee to the Senate, it is left to the Senate to determine how to proceed. (2/5)

        @lisamurkowski It's not a "prerogative" to "recommend". It's an *OBLIGATION* to *NOMINATE*. The Senate's *OBLIGATION* is advice and consent

        @lisamurkowski It's not just a prerogative, it's a constitutional function of his office for which we specifically elected him.

        .@lisamurkowski You took an oath to uphold the Constitution, which says he "shall," not may. NOT a prerogative.

        @lisamurkowski actually that is no how the constitution describes YOUR DUTY. If you can't handle it quit, and spare us more embarrassment.
