White House Warns of 'Consequences' for Republicans Who Don't Get Behind Trump Cabinet Nominees"
"The White House has issued a stark warning to Senate Republicans to fully support Donald Trump's Cabinet nominees, emphasizing political repercussions for any dissent."
"The White House is doubling down on its pressure campaign, warning Republican senators of political fallout if they fail to back the president's picks."
Biden Joins the Club: Each of the Previous Five Presidents Had an Early Cabinet Nominee Withdraw
"Biden becomes the sixth president in a row who has notched at least one unsuccessful Cabinet-level nomination by the end of their first two months in office. Presidents George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Donald Trump each had one, while President Barack Obama had three."
The words are "to advise and consent", which is understood to enable a balance of power.
While it is customary for the Senate to approve cabinet picks, it is not a guarantee.
The fact that the advise and consent can occur before or after the nomination comes before the Senate, implies a working relation ship to get the best people in office.
Making threats against elected politicians doing their constitutional duty, would seem like an impeachable offence. Hmmmm....
