President-elect Trump faces congressional test over his controversial Cabinet picks.

President-elect Donald Trump is challenging the Republican-controlled Congress by nominating controversial figures for his Cabinet, testing whether Congress will oppose his choices. Senators must decide if they will support Trump's nominees, like Matt Gaetz and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., or risk alienating their party. This situation raises concerns about Congress maintaining its role as a co-equal branch of government. Critics fear Congress might become a "rubber stamp" for Trump's agenda, while supporters argue there should be no room for dissent. The confirmation process for these nominees will be a key test of Congress's independence.
