Here is a piece that I’ve just published on the Washington Post‘s website, titled “Mike Johnson must block Trump’s scheme on recess appointments.” My opening paragraph:
President-elect Donald Trump is threatening to turn the Constitution’s appointment process for Cabinet officers on its head. If what I’m hearing on the conservative legal grapevine is correct, he might resort to a cockamamie scheme that would require House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) to play a critical role. Johnson can and should immediately put an end to this scheme.
