[Trump hints at selecting SEC chairman through "recess appointment" to bypass Senate review] According to An Shouzheng, US President-elect Donald Trump hinted that he would bypass the Senate's confirmation process to appoint members of his administration, which also seems to include replacing Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Gary Gensler. In an X post on November 10, Trump said that only he has the right to choose which US senator will serve as Senate majority leader starting when the new Congress is sworn in in January 2025. He hopes that potential majority leaders will agree to make appointments during recess to bypass the confirmation process and allow people to take up important positions "immediately" instead of going through questioning and review by lawmakers.
