The Congress has a long history of surrendering Constitutional power so long as they are allowed to remain in power and continue to stuff money in their pockets. They don’t believe that the voters will ever do anything about it.
A better solution would have been to divide the minor appointed officials into cohorts, with an entire list of a set of these minor functionaries submitted to the Senate for approval. Most would get a pass and be on their way to greater glory as Administration lackies. But, any Senator could object and hold up the entire list until the offending lackey was either removed or presented to the entire Senate for confirmation. Republicans are so stupid.
