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.

Trump Pushes for Recess Appointments to Sidestep Senate Confirmation

President-elect Donald Trump is urging the next Senate majority leader to allow recess appointments, enabling him to bypass Senate confirmation for certain officials.

Trump has made this demand a condition for Republican senators seeking leadership positions, with candidates like Rick Scott expressing support. Recess appointments have been used by past presidents but faced limitations after a 2014 Supreme Court ruling.
