29. Recess appointments require a recess and a stalled nominee

Wed Nov 13, 2024, 04:02 PM

Nov 13

There won't be a recess for some time even if Democrats don't filibuster such a resolution...

... but I'm saying there will be 51 "no" votes, and they'll just reject him.

Gaetz isn't all that popular in the House. I don't see how he gains enough support in the Senate
