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