This is a terrible interpretation and not what was intended. Besides, he's not going to get cooperation from the Senate. Senators (most of them) still take their job very seriously.DrummerboyWolf said:
Pam Bondi is an excellent pick for AG. She is really good and is a former homicide prosecutor and AG of Florida. Media and the Dems should have left Gaetz well enough alone. Be careful what you wish for.
As noted above by Cary's post from the Constitution. Trump can bypass all Cabinet confirmation hearings if he wants to. Get the people in there and destroy the Deep State. Sounds like a great plan to me!
Based on what I understand, if the House says it's going on recess and the Senate doesn't, that becomes a disagreement. At that point, the President can force the two chambers into recess.
Now, I'm not sitting here saying this is constitutional; rather, I'm saying this is a crude understanding of how this may happen. Also, I am confident this will get challenged in the courts.
Also, the Senator's that were most vocal against Gaetz all voted for Garland. I think that is the kind of thing that causes issues. If an elected President, by the people, wants certain people to be in their cabinet, then the Senate should support that President.
And finally, Trump probably will "not" get any support, by the Democrats, on any of his nominees. Only the Republicans play by a different rule. I've said it before: Democrats play smash mouth Football, Republican sit on the sidelines.
Give all the credit to the Democrats!! They are just good at what they do...
So literally no matter who the President wants, the Senate should confirm them just because? That's ridiculous.
There's fair evidence Gaetz is heavy into drugs and prostitution at a minimum, and dudes that are heavy into drugs and prostitution seem fairly compromised, no? And that doesn't even speak of him running in sex trafficking circles or other illegal or illicit or unethical behavior. Gaetz's circumstance is extreme.
However little Dems support Trump's picks, there's almost certainly relativity there. Gaetz had zero shot at garnering any Dem support given his lunacy; he couldn't even get the necessary Republican support. If Trump nominates some like Roberts or Gorsuch I have a strong suspicion the outcome would be different.
Sorry, which position in Biden's administration was Hunter nominated for again?
And if he was nominated, you're saying you'd be OK with it given his past conduct?
And you'd expect him to be confirmed?
No chance someone with his profile would be nominated and confirmed, which proves the point.
