Senators need to do their jobs by the book. Refusing to confirm a legitimately qualified candidate for personal, or political reasons should automatically trigger a recall vote. Senators are our employees, not our overlords.
So apparently he can use both the vacancies act and the recess appointments law. Per RAV commenter Jeffrey Clark, he can start with recess appointments, those last 2 years then he can extend that with the vacancies act for an additional 210 days. So almost 3 years without a confirmation vote. By then we should have most of the trash in the senate taken out by either arrests or resignation.
Normally I agree...however for things like this it would be best if the public had some headsup so that they can understand what is going on.
Its not Trump acting as a dictactor but rather Trump using the law.
If he just does it then people will be confused and the Dictator narrative is easier to sell and his backers wont be able to explain it to friends and family without a little preeducation.
I'd like to see when and where Trump "vowed to use the Federal Vacancies Reform Act". Looking through the details:
The Vacancies Act directs that the first assistant to the vacant office is the default acting officer. However, the act also authorizes the President to direct a presidentially appointed, Senate confirmed officer or a senior agency employee meeting certain criteria to serve as the acting officer. (5 U.S.C. & 3345(a).)
So it looks like if Trump can make his appointees into 'senior agency employees' first, he can promote them to 'first assistant' to each vacant office and then they can fill the positions?

Imagine mid terms when trump endorses the opponents of all those rino hacks.
This is awesome. They can't mess with it now. Can they?
Not at all. No matter how much they or the media screams about it.
So it's a done deal. Another turd just hit a fan.
He shouldn’t tell what he’s going to do, he should just do it.
Truth ! Gosh man ! How often do we need to say this . I don’t understand why people do this !

These RINO faggots will not stop Trump’s picks.
