    Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell reportedly warned that there will be no recess appointments

    Recess appointments stopped being a thing in 2016 altogether and really the water source was shut off back in Obama who only got 32 as Pro Forma became popular in Congress.

    I am seriously doubtful that the House wants to get rid of Pro Forma nor would they risk a Section III dismissal to appease Trump.

    As much as Trump is power hungry, so too are a ton of GOP members of Congress equally hungry.
