He’s had few difficulties. Executive positions simply aren’t being filled, for some reason. He’s proposed many judges. AFAIK every name proposed for any position has been approved by the senate.

Hmm, interesting. The high profile ones seem to go through without any more than a ceremonial objection so those less prominent ones are surprising.

Thanks for checking this!

I would imagine it is difficult to fill positions when you're a Washington outsider and when you reject the opinions of insiders. That of course assumes you have time in your schedule between executive time blocks.

Unless you read only one news source, there is no debate as to why positions are not filled. It is because of one of two reasons: 1. at this point nobody wants to work with you, or 2. you don't even know who to ask.
