Trump pushes for quick Senate confirmations, raises concerns of constitutional crisis
Donald Trump is pushing for quick Senate confirmation of his nominees, threatening to bypass the Senate if they do not comply. He has proposed Matt Gaetz for attorney general and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for health secretary, despite their controversial backgrounds. Trump's lawyer stated he will not back down from his choices. He suggested that if the Senate does not confirm his nominees, it should allow him to make recess appointments, challenging the Senate's constitutional role. Some lawmakers express concern over Trump's approach. They believe he may trigger a constitutional crisis but are hopeful that Republican senators will uphold their responsibilities and resist his demands.
