Recess coming soon, so couldn’t Trump temporarily put up whoever he wanted to?

"This Senate will not confirm a replacement for Sessions."

"Recess coming soon, so couldn’t Trump temporarily put up whoever he wanted to?"

Exactly my thought. If appointees in critical positions aren't going to last more than a few months in the job, why not just recess appoint them? He can then appoint people who would never get through a Senate confirmation.

McConnell has to cooperate, though. (At least that's what the SC said. Obama couldn't declare the Senate in recess.)

(Wouldn't bother me. I'd take a short-term gig. In fact, I'd hope for it. The longest I could ever stand working for the gov't was 2 years.)

Trump should not fire Sessions. Sessions should fire Rosenstein and hire a new deputy who would be in charge of the Special Prosecutor.
