How about if there isn’t a recess? Does it cover it then?

If the Congress indicates it was not in recess and that no recess was called, then a President cannot constitutionally make a recess appointment.

Bingo!

Each House makes its own rules, including whether or not it is in session; recessed; or adjourned.

Unless they declare Recess or Adjournment, they are not recessed or adjourned.
