GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, urged President Donald Trump not to fire Attorney General Jeff Sessions in a Wednesday tweet.

The senator warned the president that his committee would not take up a new nominee for attorney general, should he dismiss Sessions. Nominees for attorney general must first appear for hearings before the Senate Judiciary, prior to their confirmation is taken up by the full body.

Unfortunately, the democrats will be all too willing to welcome him with open arms when his natural liberalism starts coming through.

They have the power to not approve a nomination thus preventing that person from taking the appointment.   If they refuse to approve any then he can use recess appointments.

He could also appoint the pseudo cabinet members like Obama did when he took over.

It is a tremendous breach of the authority of Congress for them to say "keep this person or you don't get anyone".  Hardly something a supporter of the Constitution would endorse.

Ri-i-ght.   But they were following their oath of office when they refused to even take a vote on Garland. 

Now you're simply being a hypocrite.
