OPINION:
Stephen Dinan and Gabriella Munoz rightly call out House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her “do-nothing” Congress (“Former House lawyer says Pelosi’s impeachment inquiry ’is illegal,’” Web, Oct. 22). Unfortunately, no bipartisan legislation on prescription-drug prices or infrastructure is likely to be completed while the Democrats remain single-mindedly focused on removing President Trump from office. But the president does not need the cooperation of the Democrat-controlled House to move forward with his own agenda. He still has the exclusive power to make federal appointments, and the Republican-controlled Senate still has the exclusive power to confirm those appointments.
President Trump should make filling numerous vacancies in the executive branch and judiciary with people who will carry out his agenda his top priority before the 2020 elections.
