Donald Trump looks for work-arounds in his potential future admin setup‚ pushing for non-standard ways to get his picks into key spots (a move that might shake-up DCʼs usual way of doing things)
The ex-president whose running for 24ʼ election wants to skip the normal Senate check-process: hes asking GOP senators to take extra-long breaks which would let him use special recess-appointments. This move could help dodge the regular confirmation steps that most high-level picks need to go through
His short-list includes some head-turning names — former Florida rep Matt Gaetz and one-time white house hopeful Robert F Kennedy Jr are among those being talked about for top-spots. The whole thing shows how Trump might try to fast-track his chosen team into place; using little-known rules about Senate down-time to make it happen
The strategy relies on an old-school political trick: if senators arent in town they cant vote on nominees which opens up a side-door for putting people in positions without the usual back-and-forth that comes with getting Senate ok
