Hopefully President Trump is going to use this recess for recess appointments.

You’re joking, right? They aren’t going into recess. The senate will be called in session every three days to prevent Trump from making appointments. I have read elsewhere, Republicans want leverage to exchange appointments for endorsements and such.

according to Senator Mullen, Republicans are going to change the rules for confirmation when they get back from their break.
These are just US Senate rules they are not in the constitution.

The Senate isn’t in recess.

Sen. Thune is holding some ceremonial procedures every few days that are technically keeping the Senate in session.
