Republican Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina has strongly voiced his opposition to the idea of allowing President-elect Donald Trump to make recess appointments without going through the full Senate confirmation process. Tillis emphasized that such a move would be a 'huge mistake' and would undermine the Senate's constitutional authority of advice and consent.
Tillis, who is part of Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's leadership team, highlighted that nominees appointed during a recess would be at a disadvantage due to their 'acting' status. He pointed out that serious candidates for Cabinet-level positions would prefer to undergo the full confirmation process rather than be appointed during a recess.
