Trump Plans to Use Recess Appointments to Bypass Senate for Cabinet Positions
Nov 15, 2024, 08:47 PM
President-elect Donald Trump has announced his intention to use recess appointments to fill key positions in his Cabinet. This approach would enable him to bypass the Senate confirmation process for some of the most powerful roles in the U.S. government. Trump has called on senators to agree to this method, which would allow him to nominate individuals without requiring Senate approval. Recess appointments would enable Trump to appoint high-level nominees without Senate confirmation.
