Now, modern presidents have over 1,000 positions that need to be filled, put on the job. This includes deputy secretaries, under secretaries, assistant secretaries, deputy assistant secretaries, ambassadors, and others. Those positions keep the government running. Those nominees will now be confirmed in groups, just like they were for every president before President Trump. Every committee hearing and every markup will still happen. Every FBI background check will still occur. Every ethics review will still happen. Every nominee will still appear in front of the committees. (05:00–05:10)
