Interesting.. so Biden can do recess judges as well then?From what I’ve read (and I think I posted it here) Biden and Pelosi can force congress to recess as the president gets to break a deadlock if the two sides of congress can’t agree on a time to recess. Then Biden can use the recess appointment power to fill his cabinet.
So I actually don’t see Mitch blanket opposing cabinet nominations. Everything else sure but he can’t actually stop cabinet nominations so he won’t make himself look weak by trying. In fact he’ll claim allowing cabinet appointments makes him bipartisan while blocking everything else.
