Trump pressures candidates for #Senate #GOP leader to fill his Cabinet right away
US Senate has not allowed presidents to make recess appts since a 2014 #SCOTUS ruling limited the president’s power to do so.
He's not even been sworn in, so he's not even POTUS yet, but - true to form - Trump wants to break that rule. Big time.
Hm. Wonder why. https://www.arabnews.com/node/2578824

@ginaintheburg That's not quite what happened.
In NLRB v Canning the SCOTUS didn't limit the president's power to make recess appointments but rather it pointed out that Obama had made recess appointments without a recess.
Big difference.
Trump isn't wanting to break a rule here. Exactly the opposite: he's talking about applying the rule correctly.
