Trump demands next Senate leader allow him to bypass approval for cabinet appointments

and yet she was rejected ...how come millions in your party rejected her for hitler?.....
And I guess you don't think voters can mamke a mistake. America fucked up Dresden and thats all there is to it. They didn't vote because of candidate quality, they voted because they believe that trump will lower prices and some voted for him because they think he's going to send them a check.

Congress sent checks, Trump took credit. He's reaping the political reward 4 years later​


Oprah Winfrey recounted an interaction with a Black man who told her heā€™s voting for Trump at the airport ahead of a Farmington Hills campaign event with Vice President Kamala Harris last month.

ā€œHe goes, ā€˜Iā€™m voting for Trump because he gave me that check,ā€™ ā€ Winfrey told the audience. ā€œIā€™ve heard that from several people: that I got the check. He gave us the check. And so therefore, forget about everything else. Itā€™s about the checks.ā€

The Trump supporterā€™s comment is a familiar one for Black voters across the country and in Detroit.

Itā€™s been suggested by popular rappers in interviews and songs. Detroitā€™s Babyface Rayā€™s 2021 hit ā€œIf You Know You Knowā€ features the hook: ā€œIā€™m tipping, pass it out like Trump.ā€

And it all stems from the up to $1,200 and $600 pandemic relief checks sent out in March and December 2020. Another round of checks for up to $1,400 went out in March 2021 as part of the American Rescue Plan Act, signed into law by President Joe Biden.

Many have credited Trump for those funds, as well as Congress' Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), which Trump signed into law. The PPP funds were meant for small businesses to stay afloat amid pandemic closures and an uncertain economy. He eventually signed the stimulus package, along with an annual spending bill, scrambling to get his name on the checks in the days before payments went out.

ā€œThat money was taxpayer dollars,ā€ said former state Rep. Sherry Gay-Dagnogo. ā€œDuring COVID, Congress passed legislation to move that money. We need civics back in school because people donā€™t even understand the process. The money didnā€™t come out of Trumpā€™s pocket, he didnā€™t go and tell Congress, it was the other way around. Trump insisted on signing the checks.ā€

 
Exactly the kind of things that Trump said he was going to do while campaigning. Voters overwhelmingly gave him the job. If he played mother-may-I with the Senate now, that would be going against the will of the voters.

Very anti-Democratic.
 
We have Trumpā€™s history to fall back on. He illegally installed people with no chance at confirmation and his choices have only gotten more extreme. He will have plenty of opportunity to have his appointees confirmed by the Republican controlled senate if they arenā€™t fringe extremists as he has already surrounded himself with.
That is just plain nonsense. He cannot illegally install anyone. Every person nominated using recess appointment laws as guaranteed by the Constitution can be confirmed or denied at the reconvening of the authoritative body.

Recess appointments made by the President of the United States can indeed be later confirmed or denied by the U.S. Senate. Here are the key points regarding this process:

Confirmation Process​

When the Senate reconvenes after a recess, it has the authority to consider and vote on recess appointments made by the President. The Senate can:
  1. Confirm the appointment, making it permanent for the remainder of the term.
  2. Reject the appointment, effectively ending the appointee's tenure.

Duration of Recess Appointments​

Recess appointments are temporary by nature:
  • They last until the end of the next Senate session.
  • If not confirmed by the Senate during this period, the appointment expires
    1
    .

Historical Context and Limitations​

In recent years, the use of recess appointments has become more restricted:
  • The Senate has employed pro forma sessions to prevent extended recesses, limiting the President's ability to make recess appointments
    1
    2
    .
  • A 2014 Supreme Court ruling further constrained the practice by defining what constitutes a Senate recess
    2
    7
    .

Chad Wolff was illegally appointed as the secretary of DHS and held the position illegally for over a year.

A recess appointment doesnā€™t have to be confirmed or denied until 2027, which would allow an appointment that could never pass the senate to remain in office for years.

There was nothing illegal about it. Stop with the lies.

  • They last until the end of the next Senate session.
  • If not confirmed by the Senate during this period, the appointment expires

The court found that Chad Wolff was illegally appointed.


The Senate session expires in 2027. Thatā€™s a long time to bypass the appointments clause.
 
ā€˜Donald Trump called on Republican Senators vying for the majority leader position to permit him to appoint temporary cabinet members without Senate approval through recess appointments and demanded they reject any judicial nominations until he takes office.

Complaining that Senate approval takes too long, Trump said anyone seeking the leadership position ā€œmust agree to Recess Appointments (in the Senate!)ā€ on Truth Social on Sunday, a tactic that would effectively allow him to place any person in his cabinet without formal Senate approval.

ā€œSometimes the votes can take two years, or more. This is what they did four years ago, and we cannot let it happen again. We need positions filled IMMEDIATELY!ā€ Trump wrote.

Hours after Trumpā€™s statement, three Senators running for the leadership position endorsed Trumpā€™s idea.ā€™


Not even in office yet and he's consolidating his power as an autocrat.

Trump demonstrates his contempt for sound, responsible governance and his contempt for the consent of the people.

And Republicans demonstrate the same contempt.
Bullshit....the leaders are being selected by the DNC ...they are RINOS there to obstruct and Trump knows it.

At that point they become Acting officials and that has no expiration.
Probably what Trump will do because Cronyn is an angry old liberal asshole who is a committed never Trumper.

One very liberal Obama appointee is hardly ā€œthe court.ā€

It explicitly states that the appointment expires.
