Trump's Possible Use Of Recess Appointment To Replace Sessions Angers Twitter Users

President Donald Trump is considering options to install a new attorney general through a recess appointment if Jeff Sessions quits the job. However, Trump has also been cautioned of not forcing Sessions into quitting due to political and legal consequences, the Washington Post reported Wednesday.

However, Trump is just considering the idea and has not outlined a plan of action, the Washington Post reported citing two officials familiar with the matter. The president's "fury peaked over the weekend," and it is likely he and Sessions now seem to be "heading toward an easy detente," the Post reported citing people close to the matter.

Apparently, some of Trump's associates have advised him to consider a "recess appointment" to replace Sessions in order to avoid a messy confirmation process in the short term, sources familiar with the president's thinking said, according to a report.

A recess appointment is the appoinment, made by the president, of a senior federal official while the Senate is in recess.

There are several clauses and procedural road blocks to recess appointments, but if Trump is successful in enacting the recess appointment, he might appoint a new attorney general which would allow the new person to be in place till 2018.

However, there is still uncertainty in the whole process as for a recess appointment, the Senate would actually have to formally adjourn into recess and some Senate Democrats are working to find ways to prevent that from happening as they can sense that Trump would do something like this, CNN reported.

While Senators are planning ways to halt any kind of recess appointment, Twitter users have also reacted angrily to the whole issue.

Some said that Trump wants Sessions to leave so that the new attorney general can handle the Russian investigation that is probing the alleged links between Russia and Trump's presidential campaign.

Some even tweeted that Trump announced the ban on transgenders in the U.S. military so that he could shift the public's attention from Sessions' resignation.

Bill O'Reilly tweeted a video of himself speaking of how Trump would lose his support in the Senate if he fired Session.

Some tweeted that it's Jared Kushner who has been urging the president for Sessions' ouster.

Trump has been publicly speaking against Sessions over the past week, blaming him for inefficently handling the Russia probe and also saying during an interview with the New York Times that he would have chosen somebody else in place of Sessions to head the Justice Department if he knew that Sessions would have recused himself from the probe.

"All Americans should be wondering: why is the President publicly, publicly demeaning and humiliating such a close friend and supporter, a member of his own Cabinet? They should wonder if the President is trying to pry open the office of attorney general to appoint someone during the August recess who will fire Special Counsel Mueller and shut down the Russia investigation," Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-New York) said in a floor speech Wednesday.

He added: "Let me say, if such a situation arises, Democrats would use every tool in our toolbox to stymie such a recess appointment."
