5 things to know: What are recess appointments? Trump wants them to bypass Senate approval
- Recess appointments don't require a Senate vote.
Recess appointments are when the president appoints a federal official while the U.S. Senate is in recess.
Various presidential appointments must be approved by the Senate and go through a hearing before being confirmed in the role. During this hearing, nominees can be questioned about their background, qualifications and policies. Then, the nominee must receive a majority vote to be approved.
In recess appointments, the president is able to bypass this process as the Senate is in recess, or on a break from proceedings.

So he can only encourage senate leadership to recess, because he's not in office yet right ?
True, but he may have some leverage we don't know about e.i. "We have it all".
I'm thinking so. I found it interesting to here about this on local news radio.
As well he should. Fuck the swamp rats
Before the 20th Amendment, everyone was sworn in on March 4th. After that, Congress was in recess for much of the rest of the year. This is most likely because most of Congress were farmers and had to tend to planting season. Plus, Congress was not supposed to be a career. You serve a couple of terms and then get out and let somebody else serve. That is not true of some public servants nowadays which is why term limits are needed.
It was originally a "courtesy" to have senators interview a nominee.... It eventually turned into "permission" which goes against the Framers intent.
Trump, being Trump, is showing future generations that the "courtesy" isn't necessary...
Perhaps this is what was behind the Thune approval, a deal may have been made.
-Maybe the Thune thing was to show us who's who. We know the 13 that voted For Scott. After all of the MAGA turnout to contact our senators, All of the other republican senators Proved themselves to be RINOs by screwing us while protected by their Secret Ballot. <== What? Why would they ever have a Secret Ballot option anyhow?!
Thank you for this info...........
Looks like 'Thanksgiving Week' is OPEN, Happy Thanksgiving to all.
This gives Trump 2 years (Recess Appointments has two year limit) to show the American people what the Deep State has done to our Government and the American people. Make it so!
There is actually a 1 year version and a 2 year version depending on the type of recess. Don’t know what the difference is between the recesses.
I'll take it. I want our president's first set of appointees to have a chance. A fighting chance.
