Trump tests Congress with bold Cabinet picks and executive plans after election win

President-elect Donald Trump is testing Congress with controversial Cabinet nominations and bold executive plans following his election victory. His choices, including Matt Gaetz and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., are raising concerns among lawmakers about their implications for governance. Trump's return to power comes with a Republican majority in Congress, but the dynamics are different from his first term. Some senators express caution, noting the potential for Congress to become a "rubber stamp" for Trump's agenda, especially with ongoing ethics probes involving nominees. Trump is pushing for quick confirmations and has suggested recess appointments, which would bypass traditional Senate approval. This approach raises questions about transparency and the vetting of key government officials as Congress prepares for a new political landscape.
