The Constitution allows for temporary filling of federal offices without confirmation if the Senate is not in session.
Last week Trump said that the Senate should elect a majority leader that is willing to call recesses that would allow him to sidestep the confirmation process.
Not sure if Thune will be willing to do that, but nothing would surprise me.
I mean Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence???
