Just FYI, androids are typically harder to crack into than an iPhone.

Hopefully the next twelve years! I'm liking JD.

Donald Trump has learned how to play the game.

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.

That seems pretty unlikely to me. What apts. is the senate unlikely to approve?

Matt Gaetz has made a lot of enemies, both Democrat and Republican.

I heard some talk about that earlier. Such a move would definitely test Thune and the Republican Senators. Will they hold a grudge for taking away their responsibility of advice and consent? Or will they continue to work with the President on passing his agenda? No doubt some Senators will get bent out of shape if Trump and Johnson move ahead on this.

Well, fuck 'em if they can't take a joke I say.

And yeah, enough Rep Senators have already said Gaetz is a no go. Gaetz is probably more hated in DC than Trump.

Like Gaetz or not. I would think Pres. elect. knew he could get him confirmed. Probably part of the negotiations to give Thune the job. Just a guess.

President Trump did not control the vote to get Thune the job, nor does he control the votes of the Republican Senators.

I doubt that Gaetz could get confirmed on a straight vote, therefore, President Trump is using a provision in the Constitution which will allow this appointment of Gaetz. If you want to see a failure, try to confirm Gaetz via the normal process.

I would love to be wrong about this, but...

Again, my cloudy crystal ball. But "if" Gaetz does not get confirmed Pres. elect. will go to another appointee. I am sure he has a very strong plan B. It is not going to be AOC deal. Of course I could be wrong.

You'll see

Initially, I was uncertain about the choice of JD Vance as VP.

I was wrong.

I guess Trump is smarter than me.

Have faith, patience, and enjoy the show.

We know what Senators are going to vote against Trump. I want to see what the House will do. Let them put their names on a list so they make it easy on us. Lets see how safe their seats are if they dont show some loyalty. You know damn well if they dont have Trumps endorsement next cycle they are probably s.o.l.

Dont forget the SCOTUS ruling against Obama in 2014 on recess appointments, they ruled against him. Its not a straightfoward process at all.
