The President is head of the Executive Branch. The job gives him the power to appoint the staff he wants.

Would you prefer unelected bureaucrats have that power instead?

Voters choose the leader of the executive branch, and he gets to decide who to replace. It has always been this way.

They don't have to be vetted. Never says that anywhere. It is just a courtesy to let Senators vote on appointments.

In fact once the Senate goes into recess, Trump can appoint whomever he wants.

CENTER FOR PRESIDENTIAL TRANSITION 2
INTRODUCTION
Individuals being considered for politically appointed positions are thoroughly vetted
during presidential transitions by a president-elect’s legal team and during the term of the
president by the Office of Presidential Personnel and other components of the executive
b ranch. The vetters look for potential red flags—financial, ethical or personal issues that
might disqualify potential appointees from serving in an administration or require some
action to eliminate potential conflicts of interest or other significant impediments to
appointment.
Historically, vetting teams (and advisers to appointees) have been handicapped by a lack
of institutional knowledge of how various administrations have approached the kinds of
problems that emerge during the appointment process, and in many cases, in an absence
of formal legal precedents.
The law firms of Steptoe & Johnson and Holland & Knight compiled this collection of
precedents, authorities and case studies to serve as a reference point for the president’s
appointments team as it develops its own rules and guidelines, and as it deals with
complex and unexpected issues that inevitably will arise. This guide also can be used by
advisers for potential appointees to better understand the types of issues that should be

First of all, there is no statute the REQUIRES appointees to be vetted.

"Individuals being considered for politically appointed positions are thoroughly vetted"


Are thoroughly vetted is not the same as "must be vetted"

Secondly, are you sure all the presidents you voted for in your lifetime thoroughly vetted every appointee? You never cared before now...

Lastly, do you know who Fang Fang is? She's a Chinese spy that Eric Swalwell (the on air fart master) was banging until we discovered who she was. Vetted?

The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

The Left is ridiculous! When China is accessing all our data, they don't care, but when Republicans are, they wake up to object strongly!

What are they scared about America finding out? That US taxpayers have been funding their beach properties for decades?

Only some administrations have to follow the rules of judges?

Just adding to his despicable legacy. Thankfully the sand in his hourglass is almost gone. Nobody will miss him.
