Trump's Influence on GOP Leadership and Global Politics
TL;DR Summary
President-elect Donald Trump is urging Republican senators vying for the Senate majority leader position to support recess appointments, which would allow his Cabinet nominees to bypass Congress for quicker confirmation. This demand revives a longstanding conflict between presidential and Senate powers, with historical Supreme Court rulings favoring the Senate. Trump's push has gained support from some GOP senators, like Rick Scott and John Thune, but faces potential Democratic filibusters. The issue complicates the GOP's leadership election and highlights tensions over presidential power expansion.
