He didn’t just say it; he proclaimed it.Not a cabinet position but important:
Also, no matter how many “hereby” and similar words he uses, this is not an official nomination.

Yep. They’ve allowed themselves to build their own North Korea.
fauci was a fucking idiot and a liar. I do like experts but I want them to be right and honest. Not making shit up and acting like you can't be honest with the American people.

Now do Trump.
The people have spoken. Apparently voting in Trump with both electoral and popular votes. Also again backing him up with majorities in both houses. And, maybe most importantly, backing of the SCOTUS. This is democracy American style and there is really nothing we can do to reverse the road taken. But, I'm betting that there is a bridge out around the bend.
You just proved my point.
The Dems have been downright dysfunctional in Florida and, and, and,,,,,,.
You guys control the Senate. Should be hard to blame Democrats if you can’t get Trump’s whacko nominees approved, but they’re already laying groundwork to blame Democrats for the GOP doing and end-around on the ordinary appointment process with a recess appointment stunt.
Recess appointments would require the Senate to be recessed at least 10 days and the resulting appointment is only good for the rest of the session (though presumably he could do it again next year, I guess).
The question would be how does the recess happen?
“… there are two paths Trump could take to making recess appointments.
The first would involve the Senate agreeing to recess for 10 days or more by majority vote.
The second would involve the House voting for a longer recess than the Senate, which would allow Trump to invoke a never-used constitutional power to adjourn both chambers of Congress.
According to the US Constitution, "in Case of Disagreement" a president can adjourn both chambers of Congress until "such Time as he shall think proper" - which would then provide Trump an opportunity to make recess appointments.
Trump previously threatened to use this power when he was in the White House.
In 2020, during a pandemic briefing, Trump said that he would "exercise my constitutional authority to adjourn both chambers of Congress” to make recess appointments if his nominees before Congress were not approved. …”
Vetting Trump nominees: What are recess appointments? - BBC News
Nominees can face a lengthy Senate vetting process before taking office, though Trump may try to upend that exercise in some cases.
Not the performative bullshit in toto. I just mean they will find new shiny objects.
In light of what we have learned since the pandemic, the fact that you consider fauci an expert certainly proves some point. Making it up as he goes and preaching it like a southern baptist preacher.
