Trump's Strategy: Recess Appointments Amid Senate Standoff

TL;DR Summary
Recess appointments are a mechanism that allows the U.S. President to fill vacancies without Senate approval when the Senate is not in session. President Trump might consider using this power to bypass Senate opposition and appoint officials to key positions, potentially influencing policy and administration decisions. This strategy could be particularly relevant if Trump faces significant resistance from the Senate in confirming his nominees.
