Trump should leverage McConnell into declaring a two month recess, and then make about a thousand "recess appointments".
“Trump should leverage McConnell into declaring a two month recess, and then make about a thousand “recess appointments”.”
I really like your idea! The problem is “leveraging” McConnell. With that butt ugly mug, I doubt he’s been sleeping around lately!
If he chooses carefully, the position to be filled won’t be nearly as “controversial” or difficult as replacing, say, Mr. Magoo at AG.
Yeahh....not so fast...
I believe he's seriously been in bed with China.
There is always an ‘Acting’ official, whatever the title. Next guy moves up. Note that ‘Acting’ is not the same as ‘Interim’. ‘Acting’ is an automatic step up while ‘Interim’ must be specifically named. Some of these deputy-type jobs are reserved for career people from within the departments. Not sure about the Deputy AG, but I think it is is a ‘reserved for those within’ job.
