Trump Urges GOP Senate Leader to Enable Recess Appointments
TL;DR Summary
President-elect Donald Trump is urging the next GOP Senate leader to support recess appointments, which allow temporary appointments without Senate approval when the chamber is out of session. Trump emphasized the need for this to expedite confirmations, as delays can last years. While he hasn't endorsed a candidate for the upcoming GOP leadership election, Rick Scott has expressed strong support for Trump's proposal. The practice of recess appointments has been limited by Senate pro-forma sessions and a 2014 Supreme Court ruling. Trump's push comes amid the race to replace Mitch McConnell as Senate GOP leader.
