How? The senate didn't approve Kushner; he was never an official cabinet member. The president is the ultimate classification authority, not the senate majority leader.
I still fail to see what McConnell had to do with it. Maybe you have a better example?
The Constitutional provision applies to all positions, not just the Cabinet.
In this instance, McConnell consented by not objecting. Imagine what would have happened if, say, Mike Lindell had been granted the same special status conferred to Kushner. McConnell would have clearly objected to that.
To which constitutional provision are you referring? Are you talking about the appointment of officers of the United States? Because I don't think Kushner ever was officially an officer of the United States.
By being grafted into the highest echelons of the Executive Branch, Kushner was demonstrably a "Minister or Consul".
Bear in mind that, Constitutionally, Congress has all the power.
