Trump's Allies Push for Swift Confirmation of Nominees Amid GOP Tensions

TL;DR Summary
Donald Trump, with support from Elon Musk, is advocating for the use of recess appointments to bypass Senate confirmation for key administration positions, including potentially a Supreme Court justice. This strategy would allow Trump to fill over 1,200 positions without Senate approval, a move that has sparked debate among conservatives. While some, like former White House counsel Don McGahn, support the idea to expedite staffing, others warn it undermines the constitutional separation of powers and could set a concerning precedent for future administrations.
