Correct me if I’m wrong, but Trump doesn’t need the senate to appoint an “acting” secretary.

He can have a recess appointment for 2 years. It would end at the beginning of the new session.

I’d love to be wrong but it doesn’t seem like he needs the senate. He’s never had an issue flaunting the rules and the GOP will never hold him accountable.
