Unit 4 The Presidency
President Barack Obama had nominated Loretta Lynch to be
appointed as U.S. Attorney General. The full Senate has not approved of the
President’s appointment yet. Loretta Lynch is going through the Senate
approval, she has already got the approval of the Senate panel and is going to
the full Senate. But the Republicans are voting against Loretta Lynch approval
as U.S. Attorney General for the following reason. The Republicans believe that
Loretta Lynch will support and approve of the legality of President Obama’s
executive action “on immigration,
the same issue that has tied up the approval of funding for the Department of
Homeland Security.” Additionally the Senate committee has discussed if she
would or would not defend the president’s unconstitutional action and have ask
her question about the previous attorney general policy and what she is
planning as U.S. Attorney General. They Republicans of the Senate committee have
asked these question to find a sufficient answer to vote against her
nomination. The article says that if she were to get approved by the Senate
panel and go through the full Senate even if a Republican filibuster the Senate
would stop the filibuster with a vote.
I believe that
Senate Republicans are not evaluating Loretta Lynch for her knowledge to be the
next U.S Attorney General. They Republicans are accusing her of supporting the
president decision like a trial and she has not been approved as Attorney
General yet. But though this is a good example of how senate approval process
of a presidential appointment.
