But Democrats fired back, saying the problem is that Mr. Trump has been slow in sending nominees over to Capitol Hill for action, and it’s up to him to get the ball rolling.
It’s the latest flare-up in a relationship that has only deteriorated over the first four months of Mr. Trump’s presidency.
“Dems are taking forever to approve my people, including Ambassadors. They are nothing but OBSTRUCTIONISTS! Want approvals,” Mr. Trump said on Twitter amid an outburst that spanned everything from the latest London terror attack to gun control to criticizing how his own Justice Department has mounted the legal defense of his extreme vetting policies.
Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer fired back, saying Mr. Trump has been the problem. He said there are more than 500 positions that require Senate confirmation, and Mr. Trump has only nominated 63. Another 15 have been announced but not formally nominated.
Of the 63, just 39 have been confirmed..

So if he is sending the over "too slowly", then why are they not being approved more quickly?

ReplyDeleteHe can't fire everyone. Federal judges are lifetime appointees. House and senate are voted in and can't be touched by POTUS. It's time for him to learn to work with people.
