The only issue that I see is burning political capital. Senators, by and large, if they are RINOs, will be pissed. This could hurt in other areas or nominations to his cabinet.

Boom..

BREAKING News: Trump has sent word to the Senate Majority Leader Thune that if the Senate doesn't confirm AG Gaetz, he will appoint him using the Federal Vacancies Reform Act of 1998, which allows for temporary appointments for up to 210 days, with a possible 210-day extension. This individual would not require Senate confirmation.

Hallelujah

If you believe that matters to Trump I don't know if you have been paying attention. He gives no fricks and is going to do what he campaigned on regardless of the blow back.

After reading a little of the Federal Vacancies Reform Act I don’t know if they can make him the acting AG.

Part of FVRA
quote:

A person nominated to a position may not concurrently serve as an acting officer



quote:

Eligibility to serve as acting officer

Three classes of persons may serve as acting officers:

by default “the first assistant to the office" becomes the acting officer.

the President may direct a person currently serving in a different Senate-confirmed position to serve as acting officer.

the President can select a senior "officer or employee" of the same executive agency who is equivalent to a GS-15 or above on the federal pay scale, if that employee served in that agency for at least 90 days during the 365 days preceding the end of the previous Senate-confirmed officeholder's service.

The only way they WON’T scream at the sky is if you nominate who they recommend. Then you’ll just get gentle bitching and behind-the-scenes character assassination

If Leo The Lion tweets it then it must be true.

Matt Gaetz is a pedophile.

If there were truth to this, you’d know. Democrats would be all in for his nomination
