President-elect Trump is demanding that Senate Republicans hand over their role in vetting nominees, aiming for a more radical governance style in his second term.
The push to select a Senate majority leader willing to facilitate recess appointments reflects Trump's broader authoritarian tendencies and raises concerns over constitutional violations.
There's no legal barrier to Trump's request, but it represents a significant breach of constitutional norms, undermining the Senate's critical role in confirming presidential appointments.
Legal experts warn that allowing Trump to make recess appointments without Senate confirmation could lead to unqualified individuals holding power unchecked for extended periods.
