As I understand it, these are NOT recess appointments. The Senate is using "pro forma sessions" to keep things open, so to speak. So that's the kicker. See:

A quote from your Politico link:

“The level of obstruction he’s faced since he’s been in office — he’s been extraordinarily patient, far more than we would have wanted” since some vacancies, like those on the National Labor Relations Board, have impeded the function of government."

That's absurd, since the NLRB was very active in trying to thwart Boeing from opening their SC plant. Hard to argue their being stopped from creating an environment for job growth when they're specifically doing the opposite....because they're not union jobs.
