Surely to be a clown show. We know that RFK certainly thinks he’s getting nominated for HHS, which includes FDA.

But can the GOP Senate leadership declare that the Senate is in recess? It would be nice if Dems in the Senate could block him from using recess appointments.
So after Trump was first elected, Congress evidently put in place some transition stuff - like Trump needs to disclose all conflicts of interest and sign an ethics pledge. He has ignored this, at least so far. I wonder if he will just defy it completely?
The GOP chose to do that. Dems tried to hold him accountable twice.He’s not going to do any of that. The emoluments, blind trusts, etc - he’s not going to do any of it and there’s a good chance no president ever will again. Because Congress chose to allow those things to become meaningless.
Rubio being considered for State. And the answer to the poster’s question is no.

Trump builds out national security team with picks of Hegseth for Pentagon, Noem for DHS

Congress is required by the “necessary and proper “ clause to fund.I think there’s a bit more to it but as to binary power, yes - but if one takes the pure view that Congress serves an essential check on executive power as intended and designed by the framers, isn’t it necessary that Congress do exactly that? Or at least threaten? That’s precisely the problem is that Congress has decided that party power is more important than literally anything else . . . which results in complete abdication of any role in the checks/balances system and a paving of the path toward authoritarianism.
But as a practical matter, Congress has more power than impeachment. For example, Congress funds the executive branch. The power of the purse is a valid exercise of congressional leverage on the executive branch and has been used to steer executive branch conduct at various times in history.
They are pressuring DeSantis to appoint Lara Trump. Not exactly sending their best are they? At least Tuberville won’t be the stupidest senator any longer.There is no election to replace Rubio. DeSantis gets to appoint.
Well, except for Putin, Xi, Kim…
