Trump considers recess appointments to fill Cabinet positions without Senate confirmation

President-elect Donald Trump is considering using recess appointments to fill his Cabinet without Senate confirmation. This approach would allow him to bypass the Senate's role in approving high-level officials, marking a shift in power dynamics. Trump's potential nominees, including former Reps. Matt Gaetz and Tulsi Gabbard, may face challenges in gaining Senate support, despite Republicans holding a majority. The use of recess appointments could enable Trump to appoint controversial figures more easily. Historically, recess appointments have been contentious, with a Supreme Court ruling limiting their use. Republican senators would need to agree on adjourning to allow Trump to make these appointments, but some express concerns about bypassing the Senate's responsibilities.
