President-elect Donald Trump seeks to use recess appointments to fill key cabinet positions without Senate confirmation, emphasizing quick implementation of his controversial picks. Gaetz's nomination has drawn sharp criticism from within the Republican Senate, highlighting the contentious nature of the proposed strategy. The legal framework of recess appointments allows the president to fill vacancies without Senate consent during breaks, but the move has not been fully utilized by previous administrations. Senate leaders have shown mixed responses, indicating potential pushback despite Republican control.
