Trump Considers Recess Appointments for Key Picks
News summary

President-elect Donald Trump is considering using recess appointments to bypass Senate confirmation for his controversial cabinet picks, including Matt Gaetz as Attorney General and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Health Secretary. This strategy, rarely used in recent history, would allow Trump to install officials without congressional approval, challenging traditional checks and balances. Trump's demand for recess appointments has caused unease among both Republican and Democratic senators, as it shifts significant power from the Senate to the presidency. Despite the Republican majority in the Senate, these nominations face resistance, making Trump's push for recess appointments a crucial move for his administration. The broader implications of this approach could lead to a significant shift in the balance of power within the U.S. government.
