Trump's determination to crash over traditional governmental guardrails will present a fundamental test of whether the Republican-controlled Senate can maintain its constitutional role as an independent institution and a check on presidential power. With Trump putting forward a raft of contentious prospective nominees and threatening to challenge congressional authority in other ways, Republicans who will hold the majority come January could find themselves in the precarious position of having to choose between standing up for their institution or bowing to a president dismissive of government norms. The clearest and most immediate point of tension is likely to be Trump's efforts to skip the Senate's traditional confirmation process to install loyalists, including some with checkered backgrounds, in his Cabinet. But the president-elect has also signaled he expects Republicans on Capitol Hill to accede to his wishes on policy, even if that means ceding Congress' control over federal spending. Both are powers explicitly given to the legislative branch in the Constitution.

A fresher might be considered rude if they put forth their opinion without reading the room. Sometimes, even those with the best of ideas might fail in conveying them properly. That can also lead to trouble. So, what is the best possible way for a newbie to put forward their opinion in the workplace? Here are a few tips that might come in handy: Assess the environment around you: Every place of work has its own culture and style of communication. At some workplaces, it’s okay for juniors to directly approach senior-level management to engage in discussions, whereas others follow a well-structured hierarchy. So, observe the dynamics, pay a closer look at how people at your workplace communicate, and take a call accordingly. For instance, if you see that team members communicate their ideas to the team lead who decides whether to take it forward to the senior leaders or not, that’s your cue to not barge into the office of the department head with a list of your ideas. Stick to the line of communication.
