A rift is emerging among the incoming Senate Republican majority due to President-elect Donald Trump’s push for recess cabinet appointments.
Republicans can only afford to lose a handful of their 53 senators’ votes if they hope to enter a recess to allow Trump to appoint his Cabinet picks without Senate confirmation hearings. Multiple GOP senators are already signaling they are against recess appointments.
Breitbart News senior legal contributor Ken Klukowski and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Human Rights Commission Ken Blackwell detailed how recess appointments work in a thorough article published Monday. A president can appoint cabinet members through recess appointments when the Senate is in recess for ten or more days.

The election has settled things for a lot of Americans who want to see action in Washington DC not roadblocks from politicians.
I want this all out in the open. Who are the ones going against the will of the people? We need that Pennsylvania seat in the worst way.
Why bother with down-ticket?
The Democrats steal FIVE US Senate seats, right in our faces - and the Pukes roll over for it like purse dogs.
Breitbart used to be worth reading but that was a long time ago
Every President has gotten recess appointments…except Trump
President Obama made 32 recess appointments, all to full-time positions. During his presidency, President William J. Clinton made 139 recess appointments, 95 to full-time positions and 44 to part-time positions. President George W. Bush made 171 recess appointments, 99 to full-time positions and 72 to part-time positions.

The usual prima donnas getting up on their high horses. Want to prove how important they are despite the harm they do.
Isn’t it getting to be about time for Republicans to start acting like Democrats? Usually happens every now and then.
Each job has certain privileges. Senators trade their votes. I’ll vote for your candidate if you give me X. No X, no vote. What the senators are saying is, hey, you’re taking away my perks! (In essence, what we learned about how government works in seventh grade civics was...uhm...fanciful, at best.)
If Trump had planned on making appointments without Senate approval, then he should never have said anything about it.
Here we go again ... RINOs are uncomfortable driving
Here we come, walkin’ down the street
We get the funniest looks from every one we meet
… Hey, hey, we’re the RINOS and people say we monkey around
But we’re too busy whingeing to put anything anywhere
…
We’re the old generation, and we’ve got nothing left to say
… Any time, or anywhere, just look over your shoulder
Guess who’ll be standing there
… Hey, hey, we’re the RINOs and people say we monkey around
But we’re too busy feeling important to put anybody down,
Except republicans
The usual suspects.
Recess appointments to prevent a vote - as opposed to recess appointments when the Dems are deliberately delaying votes - are bogus. If there are a majority of Senators who want to vote no, then it’s a no and you move on.
I bets it’s the Rino’s getting their panties in a wad
I was so grateful that Republicans (pfftt) got majorities in the Congress then it hit me......we’re going to have to depend on REPUBLICANS?????? Took the wind outta my sails....
