Y'all will be aware that government in the US consists of three co equal branches: the legislative branch (both houses of Congress), the administrative branch, and the judiciary. While you may think that is obvious, people have been elected to the Senate who did not know that. Senator Tuberville for one.
The Senate is required to vote on all Cabinet appointments. There is a provision though that if an appointment is urgently needed while the Senate is in recess it can be passed without a vote. Trump has told the Senate he wants them to go into recess on January 20th, the day he assumes power. This would mean his entire cabinet could be passed without a vote. Almost as if he was a dictator?
The Senate is shortly to elect a new leader but some of the candidates regard Trump's proposal with suspicion. Funny that.
There is a grey blur, and a green blur. I try to stay on the grey one. - Joey Dunlop
