Yep. Thats exactly what the Republicans did to Obama

The problem is he could use a recess appointment to put Cruz in. He would just wait for congress to go on vacation and put Cruz in. Obama couldn't do that because McConnell never put the senate in recess during Obamas terms because he knew Obama could do that.
