WH: 79 Cloture Votes Used Against Trump Nominees Compared to 17 in Past 4 Administrations Combined

(CNSNews.com) - White House Legislative Affairs Director Marc Short complained of Senate Democrats’ obstruction of President Donald Trump’s nominees, saying at this rate, it will take 11 and a half years for his nominees to be given an up-or-down vote.

In the last four administrations combined, the Senate held 17 cloture votes of presidential nominees compared to the 79 cloture vote in the first 14 months of the Trump administration, Short noted.

Just a small step IMO that Congress in general is seeking to reestablish themselves as a separate branch of government.

A very small step.

Considering the turnover rate in the Trump Administration, that figure may be comparable to the 17 cloture votes of the past 4 administrations...
