Can Trump actually confirm Cabinet picks via recess appointments?

Nov 30, 2024 | sandiegouniontribune.com | James Wallner

President-elect Trump is calling on Senate Republicans to support his agenda or get out of the way, going so far as to call for recess appointments of his recently announced cabinet picks. Trump has stated that he wants his cabinet – including unconventional nominees like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Pete Hegseth, and Tulsi Gabbard – in place soon after his inauguration, even if that means the Senate does not vote on these picks as they typically do.

How senators can restore the world’s greatest deliberative body

Oct 8, 2024 | thehill.com | James Wallner |Kevin R. Kosar

Today’s Senate is dysfunctional by any measure. The “world’s greatest deliberative body” now spends most of its time voting on routine presidential nominations to the executive and judicial branches. When the Senate does consider legislation, most senators feel they have little substantive input.

Dec 15, 2023 | riponsociety.org | James Wallner

by JAMES WALLNERThe 2024 presidential election is about to begin. Republican voters in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina will be the first to decide who gets to take on President Joe Biden in the general election.

Democrats are eyeing the wrong approach to Tuberville’s blanket hold

Jun 28, 2023 | thehill.com | James Wallner

Senators are again blaming the Senate’s rules for an impasse they created. According to reports, Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), has placed a blanket hold on more than 200 military nominations — including five joint chiefs of staff members — to prevent the Senate from confirming them. Tuberville first placed his hold in February to protest the Department of Defense’s abortion policy. Since then, efforts to negotiate an end to the impasse have been unsuccessful.

Congress is running out of time to act on the debt limit. Lawmakers have had five months to consider the issue thanks to the “extraordinary measures” that the government has employed since January to stay below its current $31.4 trillion borrowing cap.
