The US president may bypass the Senate and unilaterally install Frank Ricciardone as ambassador to Ankara prior to the Senate’s return from recess Jan. 3, because a re-nomination in a newly convened Senate could be too time-consuming, sources say.

United States President Barack Obama may have to re-nominate his ambassadorial pick for Ankara, Frank Ricciardone, whose appointment is yet to be confirmed, when the U.S. Senate sits next week, multiple U.S. and Turkish sources have said.
