    Trump appoints a slate of recess appointments. Senate comes back from recess, and holds a year-long session. Trump removes all his appointments. Senate starts a new session and immediately calls a recess. Trump re-appoints all his previous appointments that survived the year, and appoints new sycophants to the vacant positions. Senate resumes.

    Rinse, wash, repeat.

      Or, just hold the hearings like normal and not have to mess with any of that stuff. It’s not like Republicans don’t have the votes to approve anyone Trump appoints. Republicans don’t gain anything out of this move that they don’t already have.

      I’m starting to think it’s just a big loyalty test. Trump wants the Senate to give it it’s power, willingly, with thunderous applause. It’s like a shitty Prequel meme.

        Next up: Trump strongly suggests that all senators dance the Macarena while in session.
