We've got four years, maybe eight, so there's no great hurry.  As to federal positions other than judges, if the position for Acting Assistant Director of the Agriculture Department is vacant for a while, I don't really care.

I assume if the Democrats retake the House in 2018, impeachment proceedings will begin right away.  You still need two-thirds of the Senate and, if worst comes to worst, many of us could live with President Pence.
