The probe into Gaetz ended when he submitted his resignation letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson on Wednesday because the panel no longer has jurisdiction to investigate a former member.

 

 

"If Mr. Gaetz were to resign because he is taking a position, with the administration, as the attorney general, then the Ethics Committee loses jurisdiction at that point. Once we lose jurisdiction, there would not be a report that would be issued – that's not unique to this case,"

5 things to know: What are recess appointments? Trump wants them to bypass Senate approval

 

  1. Recess appointments don't require a Senate vote.

 

Recess appointments are when the president appoints a federal official while the U.S. Senate is in recess.

 

Various presidential appointments must be approved by the Senate and go through a hearing before being confirmed in the role. During this hearing, nominees can be questioned about their background, qualifications and policies. Then, the nominee must receive a majority vote to be approved.

 

In recess appointments, the president is able to bypass this process as the Senate is in recess, or on a break from proceedings.
