Trump Demands Next GOP Senate Leader Agree To ‘Recess Appointments’

Trump Demands Next GOP Senate Leader Agree To ‘Recess Appointments’

"We need positions filled IMMEDIATELY!" the president-elect wrote on Twitter.

President-elect Donald Trump demanded Republican senators hoping to become the chamber’s leader approve any of his nominations with haste and allow him to make “recess appointments” to advance his vision for the nation.

“Any Republican Senator seeking the coveted LEADERSHIP position in the United States Senate must agree to Recess Appointments (in the Senate!), without which we will not be able to get people confirmed in a timely manner,” he wrote on Truth Social. “Sometimes the votes can take two years, or more. This is what they did four years ago, and we cannot let it happen again. We need positions filled IMMEDIATELY!”

He went on to demand that lawmakers in the Senate — currently controlled by Democrats — not confirm any judicial nominees for the remainder of the current session.

“Additionally, no Judges should be approved during this period of time because the Democrats are looking to ram through their Judges as the Republicans fight over Leadership,” he said, ignoring that Republicans did similarly in the waning weeks of his first term. “THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. THANK YOU!”

Senate Democrats have reportedly been planning a push to see President Joe Biden fill as many judicial vacancies as possible in the lame-duck session. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Friday the chamber planned to “get as many done as we can.”
