I posted #27. I don't understand what is hard to understand. Article II Section 2 of the Constitution specifies that power of appointments is with the President with advice and consent of the Senate. Then this same section allows the Congress to by Law vest appointment power for inferior offices to THREE (and only three) specific alternatives as it sees fit:
(1) The President alone, (this would waive the requirement for Senate confirmation)
(2) The courts of law, (court appointed commissions)
(3) The Heads of Departments (e.g. Secretary of Defense, Secretary of State, etc.).
There is not a provision for the Congress to authorize itself to appoint members of these commissions. Up until the point the Berry used the courts to intervene, Presidents could appoint and fire whomever they wanted to commissions like this (appointments subject to senate confirmation of course), and the fact that Berry injected the process into the courts by suing when Reagan fired her demonstrates how much she has politicized the commission that was supposed to be an independent rather than partisan political commission in the first place.
