Trump's plan to circumvent the Senate's 'advice and consent' role is complicated, necessitating cooperation from Speaker Mike Johnson, as losing just a few votes jeopardizes the motion to recess.
'The advise and consent responsibility is given to the Senate and the Constitution. They need to take that seriously, and they will,' Johnson stated, emphasizing the Senate's role.
Some House Republicans express deep reservations about enabling Trump's ability to make recess appointments, with specific opposition from figures like Rep. Mike Lawler.
Days post-election, Trump demanded Senate leadership's support for recess appointments, which has led to skepticism about whether the Senate would agree to recess under these conditions.
