Trump's Potential Cabinet Appointments
Donald Trump is potentially maneuvering to bypass Senate confirmation for his cabinet appointments by demanding that the new GOP Senate leader allow for recess appointments. This controversial strategy is historically used as a last resort by presidents facing confirmation delays. For instance, George W. Bush utilized this method to appoint John Bolton as U.N. ambassador due to uncertain Senate confirmation prospects.
