Shutdown Cabinet Appointments?

Anyone know if cabinet and other federal positions can be appointed during the shutdown similar to a recess appointment? Wasn’t sure if the senate is technically in recess if the government shuts down??

If they aren’t, the president of the senate needs to shut them down

Put Matt Gaetz back in as Attorney General.

If the Senate is not meeting then yes. Thune has played games with this.

Only if the senate goes into recess during this time.
