Trump’s Demand to Skirt Senate Confirmations Poses Early Test of a Radical Second Term

[Hume]

President-elect Donald J. Trump’s demand that Senate Republicans surrender their role in vetting his nominees poses an early test of whether his second term will be more radical than his first.

Over the weekend, Mr. Trump insisted on social media that Republicans select a new Senate majority leader willing to call recesses during which he could unilaterally appoint personnel, allowing him to sidestep the confirmation process. His allies immediately applauded the idea, intensifying pressure on G.O.P. lawmakers to acquiesce.

That is what Trump said he wants and the MAGA think he is just joking .
Well right now IMO he isn't joking.
I haven't taken the time yet to look up and see how many of his appointees have anything to do with the 2025 project.
He had a lot of them in his last cabinet.

How scary does trump's nominees need to be to be too scary for even Republicans to confirm them?

I was under the impression that recess appointments are temporary, that confirmation is still required.

I might be wrong about that.

The same House that has lied to us constantly over years, and has in various other ways abused the Constitution.
