What options are available to President Trump to install the administration he wants to put in place. ?

I have never understood WHY the Senate has to confirm the Cabinet picks that a duly elected President has picked. I understand that Trump can use recess appointments to install cabinet members, if push comes to shove'.

Maybe you have never understood WHY, is because you have never taken the time to actually read the constitution? Here is the pertinent section you should now read:
Article II
Section 2 Powers
Clause 2 Advice and Consent
He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.

@juliaanita I can only answer you by asking WHY would I want to read the constitution? I am not a student of constitutional law, nor would I want to be.

Secondly, the President has a right to appoint the members of his cabinet as he sees fit, and as I stated, if you read what I wrote, HE COULD make recess appointment, if that became necessary.
Knowing that, I was merely asking what other options he may have as President to install his Cabinet.
Thank you for the lesson on what provision of the constitution apply in this case.

I'm not exactly sure what his options are but he is already picking his cabinet members and they aren't politicians either. Well, most of them aren't.

My understanding is that the Republicans won back the House, Senate and both sides of Congress.

So, with that in mind, don't you think he will get whomever he chooses and keep them?

@sage2021 I just heard that he is getting push back on some of his appointments... and that some Democrats may voice opposition.

He could pass a law to transfer the powers of the House and Senate to himself.
