Trump considers recess appointments to quickly fill Cabinet positions in second term

President-elect Donald Trump is considering using recess appointments to fill key Cabinet positions quickly. This constitutional method allows him to bypass the Senate confirmation process when Congress is in recess, expediting the establishment of his administration. Recess appointments enable the president to fill vacancies without waiting for Senate approval. However, a 2014 Supreme Court ruling requires the Senate to be in recess for at least 10 days for this to occur. Trump's plan faces potential challenges, as some Republican senators have expressed concerns about bypassing their confirmation role. Coordination between the House and Senate is also necessary for this strategy to succeed.
