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

"Democracy takes too long"

Trump.
Plus, what better way not to expose his nominees to scrutiny than skipping the confirmation hearings?

Recess appointments enable a president to temporarily install nominees without the Senate confirmation process. Trump argued in a post on social media that without recess appointments, "we will not be able to get people confirmed in a timely manner."

But he wants to skip the confirmation process.
 
If Trump were to make an appointment during a recess in the first session of the new Congress, the appointment could last for almost two years, after which the individual could be appointed again through a recess appointment or the regular process, according to the CRS report.

IOW, expect more appointees like Matt Whitaker.
 
‘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 “must agree to Recess Appointments (in the Senate!)” on Truth Social on Sunday, a tactic that would effectively allow him to place any person in his cabinet without formal Senate approval.

“Sometimes 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!” Trump wrote.

Hours after Trump’s statement, three Senators running for the leadership position endorsed Trump’s idea.’


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.
Good. I'm looking forward to Making America Great Again.

The Subhuman wants "temporary appointments" because he knows the trash he wants to appoint are so crazed that no Senator in their right mind would vote yes.

The problem is that there are Senators who just as crazed as the bottom feeder's that The Subhuman wants to appoint.

Think Rick "I Ripped Off Medicare" Scott, Cancun Ted, Rand The Prick Paul, Geezer Grassley, Lil Marco & a few others.
 
It’s controversial because this has nothing to do with delays and everything to do with appointing people that can’t get senate approval.
Even given the Brat Dems did the most Unamerican thing
imaginable.They Picked a Candidate for Nomination that had Not
even had her name on any Primary ballot.She did not participate
in the Primaries.Not a single delegate.
Trump Republicans do not need to explain squat to
Democrats { the Party of Lies,No Border security }
and no system of fair campaigning.It's all topsy turvy
Unamerican.Americans were ....
Sick of it
 
How bad are the people trump plans on nominating that he can't trust his sycophants in the Senate to confirm them?

Sycophants are in a pathetic Far Majority among the Democrat
party.What the " F " are you yammering on about.
Not a single Democrat stands out as to oppose Democrat
Leadership.It's one huge party of sycophants.
At least when Sam Nunn {D. Georgia } was a democrat he was allowed to
disagree with his fellow democrats.He became fed-up with his
party and left politics.

Poor clippy.
 
Pick Scott and be done with it. Cornyn and Thune will be the same as McConnell. Pick Scott and fall in line, unless you want to get your asses kicked for being do nothings in 2026. MAGA

This will be the first test of whether Senate Repubs will cave in to any demand no matter how unreasonable.
