I like this from your link. Folks may or may not know this:

How Long Does a Recess Appointment Last?

A recess appointment expires at the end of the Senate’s next session or when an individual (either the recess appointee or someone else) is nominated, confirmed, and permanently appointed to the position, whichever occurs first. In practice, this means that a recess appointment may last for up to nearly two years. If the President makes a recess appointment between sessions or between Congresses, that appointment will expire at the end of the following session. If he makes the appointment during a recess in the middle of a session, that appointment also will expire at the end of the following session. In this case, the duration of the appointment will include the balance of the session in progress plus the full length of the session that follows.

The librats really stepped in it. It's never gonna come off!
BWAAAHAHAHAHAA!!!
