Announcement:
Just in case you don’t see what’s going on here.
Trump is the greatest “civics teacher” in our country’s history.
This is all about “Senate Confirmation” and whether or not it is “constitutional.”
Trump is literally nominating every single person that the enemy hates and almost all of them are being accused of “not qualified.”
This is purposeful.
Trump wants this fight!!
He wants it to be very public.
Why?
The power belongs to the people and he just won a massive mandate.
All of these candidates, now get to be contrasted with the “preferred” candidates of the establishment.
But it’s way more than that.
This fight is over whether or not a president gets to choose his own cabinet to run the “Executive Branch.”
SEPARATION OF POWERS
Congress will no longer be able to prevent a president elected by the people from fulfilling his promises by appointing the people he needs in place.
Go back in history my friends.
The Senate has encroached on the Executive Branch powers in regards to appointments.
“The framers of the Constitution granted the Senate and the president shared power to appoint judges and civil officers. That shared power remains in place, but the way in which the Senate has exercised that power has changed over the course of its history.
In its first decade, the Senate established the practice of senatorial courtesy, in which senators expected to be consulted on all nominees to federal posts within their states. This influence over filling federal jobs empowered senators, and many became leaders of the political parties that emerged in the early 19th century. By the late 19th century, however, presidents and senators began to clash over control of these lower level positions, prompting some to call for reform of the nomination process. Reformers who distrusted the power of political parties sought to reduce the number of positions subject to political patronage and the advice and consent of the Senate, pushing instead for legislation expanding the professional civil service. Despite these efforts, as the federal government grew in size in the 20th century, the number of appointments subject to Senate confirmation continued to grow until the 1980s, when Congress passed legislation that has gradually reduced the number of positions requiring confirmation.”

It started out as Senatorial “courtesy.”
Not Senate “APPROVAL.”
Trump is taking us back to the original constitution my friends.
This is the opening salvo of reining in Congressional encroachment on the Executive Branch.
