This will be settled at recess; The Constitution allows Trump to appoint the best Cabinet possible

Don Surber@ American Free News Network 

Charlie Johnston tweeted, “I have noticed an important theme to some Trump appointments: he is appointing people to head agencies that victimized them.


"The speed with which President Trump has appointed Cabinet members takes my breathe away. By my count, he is up to 6 after adding Matt Gaetz as AG and Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence on Wednesday night.
'Oh wait a second. On Thursday, he named RFK Jr. as his head of Health and Human Services. As Wilt Chamberlain tweeted, “God forbid we let RFK Jr. be in charge of HHS, otherwise he might do something crazy like fund experimental gain-of-function research in Chinese laboratories and cause a global pandemic.”
'"I believe that is called sarcasm. Readers know that I am a stranger to such a concept.
'"And then Trump made it 8 by picking ex-Georgia congressman Doug Collins to run the VA.

"Make that 9.

'Just before my bedtime last night, The Calvin Coolidge Projecttweeted, “President Trump has announced that Doug Burgum will be his Interior Secretary.”

"At this point 8 years ago, Trump had appointed no one. He was waiting for recommendations from the Republican Establishment.

"Trump has created a No RINO Zone for this administration. The speed this time reflects the quality of the appointments. MAGA is a magnet for heroes and he has embraced them all.

"However, the Senate must confirm his appointments to his Cabinet. No problem. The final paragraph in Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution reads:

"The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.

"Senate Majority Leader John Thune agreed to call a recess to let Trump’s appointees start their jobs immediately. On Inauguration Day, Vice President JD Vance as President of the Senate, can call a recess. Trump then appoints Gaetz and company. Formal confirmation can come later.

"The deal likely was cut during the campaign because at one rally with Gaetz on stage, Trump announced they had a secret they would divulge after the election.

"This Cabinet is the opposite of Lincoln’s Cabinet of Rivals. This is Trump’s Cabinet of Allies. He finally is getting an A Team of his own. The A stands for American.

"Trump’s voters have issues with the federal government and Trump’s appointments reflect the grievances from the people who live outside the DC cocoon." . . .
