: US President-elect Donald Trump demanded Sunday that Republican lawmakers allow him to appoint key officials without a Senate confirmation vote, aiming to block the little remaining power Democrats have to stymie his administration.
A constitutional clause however allows for presidents to bypass a Senate vote if the chamber is in an extended recess. “Sometimes the votes can take two years, or more. This is what they did four years ago, and we cannot let it happen again,“ he said, referencing his first term in office. “We must act quickly and decisively to get the president’s nominees in place as soon as possible, & all options are on the table to make that happen, including recess appointments,“ added John Thune of South Dakota, currently the number two Senate Republican.
