Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) has assured the conservative base that, contrary to reports suggesting otherwise from outgoing Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, recess appointments are still very much on the table.<\/p>\n

According to a now-deleted tweet by Jane Mayer of The New Yorker, McConnell was quoted at a Washington gathering on Sunday as saying, \u201cThere will be no recess appointments.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The tweet was later deleted for unclear reasons, and Mayer has neither retracted nor issued a clarification following its removal.<\/p>\n

\n

By the way \u2013 this person is not stupid and knows a total forest fire was lit on X over the news SHE reported. Not issuing an immediate clarification or retraction signifies there was no error\u2026 someone just didn\u2019t like the news being reported.<\/p>\n

Odds are, it\u2019s a private event, and\u2026<\/p>\n

Senate Republicans, who recently chose RINO Sen. John Thune (R-SD) to succeed McConnell upon his retirement, signaled a shift in approach, suggesting that all avenues, including recess appointments, are under consideration.<\/p>\n

During a press conference on Wednesday<\/a>, when pressed about the possibility of bypassing the traditional confirmation process for Trump\u2019s nominees, Thune stated, \u201cWe will look at and explore all options to make sure they get moved quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n

In an X post, Thune added, \u201cWe must act quickly and decisively to get the president\u2019s nominees in place as soon as possible, & all options are on the table to make that happen, including recess appointments. We cannot let Schumer and Senate Dems block the will of the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Senator Rick Scott, an outspoken conservative and a\u00a0key contender for the role of Senate Majority Leader, didn\u2019t hold back.<\/p>\n

In response to Mayer\u2019s since-deleted tweet, Scott pushed back, stating unequivocally, \u201cYes, there will be [recess appointments].\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Yes, there will be. https:\/\/t.co\/wn8EzfnKHr<\/a><\/p>\n

The far-left media was quick to pounce on the growing tension within the Republican Party.<\/p>\n

Far-left Raw Story <\/a>reported that McConnell\u2019s alleged statement has fueled speculation about a brewing standoff between Senate Republicans and Trump\u2019s team.<\/p>\n

\n

After McConnell reportedly said, \u201cThere will be no recess appointments,\u201d social media was overtaken by talk of the upcoming standoff.<\/p>\n

Former federal prosecutor Harry Litman said, \u201cLines are drawn.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would be sad as well as disgraceful if the Senate caved on this,\u201d he added. \u201cAnd the stakes go beyond the political, and even the constitutional. It\u2019s an inordinate and unnecessary national security risk.\u201d<\/p>\n

HuffPost reporter\u00a0Yashar Ali<\/a>\u00a0said, \u201cMcConnell will not be Senate Republican Leader soon, but he may be saying this based on conversations with his colleagues.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe idea that the U.S. Senate will give up its authority on this matter with the flip of a switch is foolish,\u201d Ali said. \u201cThey\u2019re not going to stop using pro-forma.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As The Gateway Pundit<\/a> reported, the U.S. Constitution allows the President to make temporary appointments during Senate recesses to fill positions that require Senate approval.<\/p>\n

For a recess appointment to be possible, Congress must be in recess for at least 10 days.<\/p>\n

The House can influence the recess appointment process. The House Speaker may propose a concurrent resolution for both chambers to adjourn, effectively facilitating the conditions needed for a recess appointment.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, if the House and the Senate are unable to agree on adjournment, the President might use this disagreement to adjourn both, enabling the use of recess appointments, according to\u00a0CNN<\/a>.<\/p>\n

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA)\u00a0told<\/em> Shannon Bream on Sunday that if<\/span> the Senate fails its job, the House will \u201cevaluate the recess appointment option at the appropriate time.\u201d<\/p>\n
