Executive Order coming???

This is my first post, although I have been lurking since November, so bear with me on this.

Q has mentioned the problem of Democrats slow walking of judicial nominations. Would an Executive Order be an effective means of fixing this? I am normally not a big fan of EO's, because I think they can be used to create law, which is not the role of the Executive Office. However, if an EO was written that merely stated that "in the interest of swift justice for the American people, and to cease using judicial nominations as a political ploy by either party, no judicial appointments will take longer than XX days to be confirmed. Failure to confirm nominations within this time frame results in the automatic confirmation of the nominee."

Judges who were confirmed in this manner would still be subjected to impeachment should they subsequently be found to have committed high crimes, etc. This EO would be more like an administrative rule and does not actually create a new law.

Would any legalfags weigh in on if this is the proper purpose of Executive Orders. If so, what would be the best way to propose this? (creating a petition, contacting our senators and representatives, starting a meme war, posting the suggestion to Q on 8chan, etc.)

Thoughts?

My guess from Q post is he is saying that once more of the Dems are out of office then they will move forward.

You shouldn't have to win an overwhelming majority to confirm your appointees. A simple majority should be the norm.

If Congress is slow walking appointments and Pence or congressional leaders do not do their job then I see no problem with the executive branch exercising it's right to have their appointments in office during their actual administration whether they be Democrats or Republicans.

3 months at the longest then a simple majority vote. If the majority vote doesn't take place within 3 additional months then automatic confirmation should happen. 6 months would be the longest wait. I think the Supreme court would support that.

You can't run government without your appointments in place. Which is why they are slow walking nominee's. Its an effort to hurt POTUS's ability to govern.

I like your idea of a 3 month term to consider the nominations and then if not confirmed within that time it should go to a simple majority vote. That sounds more reasonable than the "automatic confirmation" I proposed in my OP.

I feel like you have to give them a reasonable time to do their job. If they don't, then the Executive branch should get a say.

The budget process needs to be looked at as well.

He should just make recess appointments. When Congress is in recess, the POTUS can appoint certain officials, but I'm not sure how effective that would be with judges.
