Trump Plans to Bypass Senate for Cabinet Appointments

Donald Trump, newly elected as U.S. President, seeks to leverage a constitutional loophole to appoint ministers without Senate approval.

  • Donald Trump intends to use 'recess appointments' to install cabinet members during Senate breaks, bypassing the usual confirmation process.
  • Republican Senators, including Rick Scott, John Thune, and John Cornyn, have expressed support for Trump's plan to expedite appointments.
  • Trump has nominated Elise Stefanik as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, pending Senate confirmation.
  • Tom Homan, known for his hardline immigration stance, is appointed as 'Border Czar' to oversee mass deportations.
  • Trump's strategy includes consolidating Republican control in the Senate, where they hold a majority, to facilitate his agenda.
