(16,724 posts)The US CONSTITUTION says,
Executive Office appointments,
Role of The US Senate,
○ADVISE.
○CONSENT/
○REJECT
_______________________________
Djt does not like the proceedure for confirmation of his administration's cabinet as outlined in the US Constitution as above.
So what does djt intend to do ? Make a run around the US Constitution. Game the system and void that Advise & Consent section of Constitutional Law.
If djt does not agree or appreciate any section of the US Constitution he just ignores it, conjures up a work around, and disregards Constitutional Law.
Being a dictator must nearly be as good as being a monarch,... correct dipshit donnie ?

(4,816 posts)If she believes it, she's naive but it's the right answer.
If she doesn't believe it, it's still the right answer, because as a senator she's the person who needs to continue to assert that right, even if it's not actualized. She is also making the claim that subterfuge of that process is tyranny.
