“WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s a short phrase in the Constitution, mentioned in passing. But it’s already taking on an outsize significance as President-elect Donald Trump charts his return to office.”
“The Constitution gives us a role in personnel called ‘advice and consent,’” said Sen. Mitch McConnell. “My view is that’s exactly what will unfold here when these nominees are actually sent forward, and we will treat them like we’ve treated all others with proper vetting.”
“Trump has also demanded that Senate Republicans agree to allow him to make recess appointments, a process ”
“Trump allies have also discussed a scenario where the Republican-controlled House could vote to adjourn Congress. Even if the Senate declined to adjourn also, that could theoretically create a “disagreement” between the two chambers, which allows the president to tap a constitutional authority to adjourn Congress until a time he thinks is “proper.”

Senators took down one Trump Cabinet pick. But the fight over their authority is just beginning
The withdrawal of Matt Gaetz as Trump’s nominee for attorney general serves as a reminder that the Senate is still relevant when it comes to installing a president’s Cabinet.
