Republicans hold majorities in the House and Senate. John Thune was elected by Senate Republicans to be the Majority Leader.

Senate Confirmations for all positions will be scheduled.

The Department of Education is expected to be eliminated from the Cabinet and responsibility for education returned to the States under the 10th Amendment.

Comments

All appointees are committed to Trump’s Agenda and have backgrounds that match the current needs of their appointments.

It is likely that Congress will change the priorities of the US Federal Reserve to get control of money printing to eliminate Inflation. The Inflation Target should be Zero and interest rates should be set by the market based on supply and demand.  

It is also likely that Congress will pass a law to require all Voters to hold US Citizenship for all elections and end Birther Baby, Lottery and Chain Migration Citizenship.

The Agency jobs expanded in 2009 are listed in the posting below.

The Law in the Appointments Clause is mushy.
