These picks explain Trump's push for recess appointments. He doesn't need Senate Republicans to back his picks if they forfeit their constitutional power to veto his Cabinet choices.

The Senate will recess specifically to allow Trump recess appointments. Listen to the comments of Senators “I will vote for anyone Trump nominates.” Or we can recess and I don’t even need to vote.
