    More likely than not, the Senate GOP will just let Trump appoint whoever he wants.

    There really hasn't been many good examples of the GOP effectively checking Trump's behavior.

      One possibility is to have a confirmation vote for that unpalatable candidate quickly and vote that candidate down. That should remove the threat of recess appointment, at least one with that unpalatable candidate.

      Senate majority leader chooses the votes to hold. Thune can put AG at the end of the line. That is the way the majority leader can "support" Trump's plans.

      This stuff about senate majority leaders "supporting" Trump's plans for recess appointments, may just be posturing meant to put the specter of recess appointments into everybody's heads. Unless anybody can be clear about the nuts and bolts of a senate majority leader "supporting" senate recess appointments.

      Education is extremely important.

        When finally assembled, could Mr. Trump's cabinet team picture surpass this one? Yes!

                Maybe Trump's cabinet will be more diverse.

                            Why is there going to be a cabinet secretary for a Department that is being shuttered?

                            Maybe I should apply for a position at DOGE…

                                To point out that they don’t need a secretary for a department that is going away.

                                Oh, and the 80 hours a week thing? They should be looking for people that can do the work in 20 hours per week. Much more efficient. Set an example, DOGE…
