WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Supreme Court has limited a president's power to make temporary appointments to fill high-level government jobs.
The court said Thursday that President Barack Obama exceeded his authority when he invoked the Constitution's provision on recess appointments to fill slots on the National Labor Relations Board in 2012.

Watch for some members of the S.C. mysteriously die now, so hussein can replace them with his own henchmen.
And there there is CNN propaganda. Trying to make it sound like what Obama did was same thing that has been being done for years.
Texas has it written into their state constitution - they CAN secede.
Many people are ready to ‘escape’ to Texas should they ever do so. they ARE big enough, and successful enough - and have the ba*ls, to be separate.
AMENDMENT XRead that again. The states delegated specific powers to the Union through the Constitution. All other powers belong to the states.The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.
All one need do is read the Founding Fathers' writings to understand their intentions. The Constitution was intended to grant limited power to the federal government. What they wanted to prohibit the states from doing, they specifically outlined in the Constitution. They intended all other powers and rights to go to the states and the people.
so youre suggesting that the worst occupier of the oval office in the history of the republic ignore this ruling by the supreme court ?
and you find that amusing ?
The important issue is does this SCOTUS decision *invalidate* all the decisions the NLRB made with its improper appointees? Unless it does, this is all for naught.
He’s already doing it, so nothing has changed. AND ... the precedent is there for Presidents to ignore the US Supreme Court.
I figure the worse Obama is, the better it is for us the next time around, because the more upset people will be about it.
Let the tanks roll, no issue with a Military coup at this point.
Obama later withdrew the nominations of the two whom he illegally appointed. He appointed two replacements, who, along with the three previously appointed and awaiting confirmation, were confirmed by the Senate on July 29, 2013.
Any decisions made by the board when the two served illegally are null and void. I believe there were some 800 decisions during that time.
Those on the board at this time are there legally and their decisions stand, unless later found specifically unconstitutional.
That is a commonly believed myth. There is nothing in our state constitution about the right to secede.
In the 1845 annexation agreement, Texas agreed to join the union on the condition that it be allowed to split itself into as many as five separate states whenever it wanted to, and contingent only on the approval of its own state legislature.
what you said
Not sure what got into the Supremes, but I like it..so far.
of course it’s unaminous. the liberal court wants to limit any future conservative president in 2016, and this ruling makes them appear objective right now.
Right you are. One of the most important of all Supreme Court decisions. Everyone concerned with constitutional law should read it.
I have the same feeling.
“partisan clash”
Apparently, this had nothing to do with Constitutionally illegal behavior by a President as declared by a united Supreme Court in their first ever ruling on the issue. Nope, according to the AP this was a “partisan clash”.
LOL! He doesn't need this any more! He made these recess appointments because they were being filibustered! Harry Reed changed the rules, remember? Big-0 will just re-nominate these guys and the Senate will confirm them easily.
Democrats seem to think that every time a congressman goes to the White House Restroom, then it’s OK to appoint far left radicals to positions of higher power.
