Trump’s complaint: 9 years to get nominations approved
“Democrats are obstructing good (hopefully great) people wanting to give up a big portion of their life to work for our Government, hence, the American People. They are ‘slow walking’ all of my nominations — hundreds of people. At this rate it would take 9 years for all approvals!”
— President Trump, in a tweet, April 19, 2018
“At this rate, it would take the administration more than 11 years to get all of our political appointees confirmed — the United States Senate. It is a broken process. Another data point to give your listeners is that the last four presidents combined from H.W. Bush to Clinton to W. Bush to Obama — in their entire first term — so all four of them, their entire first four years, 16 years combined, there were 32 filibusters, 32 on nominees. In 15 months this administration, we’ve had more than 80.”
— Marc Short, White House legislative affairs director, in an interview on NPR, April 18
