What seems suspicious is that Obama said Saturday night that he would submit an appointment to the Senate, as part of his constitutional obligation, but “in due time.” This window is open next week and this week only. In short: Both bodies of Congress are operating in the perfect parliamentary status in which a recess appointment would be applicable. The last such appointment to the high court came by President Eisenhower in 1956 when he appointed William Brennan. Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution states that “The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate.” Obama Has Rare Parliamentary Window To Make Recess Appointment To Succeed Scalia.
