This is a topic that’s been on my mind a lot recently.
We know that there are hundreds of appointed positions just in DHS and DOJ that were never filled in the first place, which is looking to be part of the reason for the shitshows over the past couple years, ramping up over this past summer and culminating in Jan 6.
And Biden faces resistance in the Senate to at least some appointments he’s announced. We can reasonably expect delays and foot-dragging on others even in totally non-controversial.
Can someone correct me if I am wrong, or offer an informed opinion/comment on this?
Could, once he is, Senate Majority Leader Schumer recess the Senate for a couple days?
And in the period Biden seat his entire slate of appointees in one act?
That should put his people in place, practically.on Day 1, and incentivize Senate Republicans to act in good faith on confirming non-recess appointments.
No?
