I know the House needs to be involved if he's trying to end-run the Senate which is why I think this is a long shot unless he has some hidden leverage -

>fat orange retard DOES have the ability to unilaterally staff his Cabinet and put in who he wants without a vote if the Senate is in 'recess' (these are called recess appointments and Bush got to do this over 100 times when he was President)
>fat orange retard has the power, as head of the Executive Branch, to 'adjourn' the Senate if he calls for a Convention of both Houses (House of Representatives plus Senate) and there is 'Case of Disagreement' between them
>this would put the Senate and House into forcible recess, until a time of his choosing
It's actually . . . clever -

On the other hand, Reps are far more vulnerable to voter punishment than 6 year term Senators (Thune can stonewall cheeto boy until 2028)
We will see in a few weeks, and note that tangerine man got a cool ZERO recess appointments during his entire first term -

Or any fantasy novel with a femael author where the female Mary Sue protagonist has to choose between a sadistic vampire sorcerer nobleman as her love interest versus a barbarian werewolf from the hinterlands -
