Trump considers recess appointments to fill Cabinet positions without Senate confirmation

President-elect Donald Trump is considering using recess appointments to fill key Cabinet positions without Senate confirmation. This approach would allow him to bypass the Senate's traditional role in confirming high-level officials. Recess appointments let presidents fill vacancies while the Senate is not in session. Historically, this method has been used during long congressional breaks, but recent Supreme Court rulings have limited its application. Trump's potential nominees, including Matt Gaetz and Tulsi Gabbard, may face challenges in gaining Senate support. Republican leaders are discussing the possibility of recess appointments, but some senators emphasize the importance of the Senate's confirmation role.
