He wants recess appointments so he can get people in place so as to get them started, and not have this massive backlog of positions to fill because the democrats won't let him put people in place.

Let's keep track of something, you and I. IF Senate Republicans willingly cede their authority to Trump..........

Going forward, what percentage of appointments will go through the normal Congressional Approval process?
And what percentage of appointments will simply be made by Trump during Congressional recesses?

How often will the Republican Senate Majority leader call for an unscheduled recess so Trump can appoint a bunch of folks without having to bother with advise&consent?

You don't have to answer. Just think about the issue in your own mind. It might be worthwhile for both of us to revisit this issue in four years.
