With Gaetz having resigned his seat in the House, if the Senate tries to reject his AG confirmation, DeSantis can always appoint Gaetz to fill Rubio’s Senate seat. Would be interesting to see senators have to choose between Gaetz as AG or as their colleague for years to come. https://x.com/seanmdav/status/1856867727904051575
If Lara Trump is appointed to replace Marco Rubio, it will be one of the greatest chess moves ever.
The Senate is the most secretive body of Congress. They do a lot of backroom deals because there are so few of them. It's hard to do anything secretive in the House because many members are ready to tell the people all that happens.
As a Senator, Lara Trump will attend all the meetings and know everything they plan against President Trump. Her mere presence will STOP them from holding those meetings. She could be the disruptor we need to squash the swamp from the inside. DeSantis has to make this happen.
SECRET: If you were listening closely you might have heard Trump mention a 'secret' he had with Speaker Johnson. It is abundantly clear that if Trump wants to put his dream team together he's going to need to make a BUNCH of recess appointments. The Senate is unlikely to agree to adjourn so he can use his authority to adjourn both chambers as long as Johnson cooperates. Is that the 'secret' Trump mentioned?
Under Article II, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution, the President has the authority to adjourn Congress in the case of a disagreement between the House and Senate over the time of adjournment. It's a power that has never been used, and its scope remains relatively untested. Here’s a quick summary of the conditions that would be needed:
One House Must Request Adjournment:
One of the chambers (in this case, likely the House of Representatives, led by Speaker Johnson) would formally seek to adjourn.
The Other House Must Refuse: The other chamber (in this scenario, the Senate) must then refuse to agree to this request. If this condition is met, it opens the door for the President to step in and resolve the disagreement by adjourning both chambers.
Once Congress is adjourned, the President could use the recess to make "recess appointments" under Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution. This would allow Trump to install his preferred Cabinet members without Senate confirmation. https://x.com/amuse/status/1856902812971487736
I had a good long talk with my Dad on this who himself had a conversation with a constitutional scholar on the subject. Not only can can he get all his appointments but Trump can renew the recess appointment once a year. The Senate can be completely bypassed.
