Trump's latest plan 'would really be pushing the limits' of his powers: CNN conservative

A conservative commentator questioned the constitutionality of Donald Trump's demand to the Senate's Republican majority to give up their role in approving his nominees for top government positions.

The president-elect is pushing newly elected GOP majority leader John Thune (R-SD) to abdicate the confirmation process outlined in the U.S. Constitution as a legislative check on his executive power by allowing recess appointments, and CNN's Scott Jennings said that might be the only way Matt Gaetz could become attorney general.
