It's one of those things where I heard on some talk show or another that he was up for nomination in September.
Now I could have misheard so someone correct me if I'm wrong. Bolton was a recess appointment. How does that work?
On FNS Bolton answered Brit about making the rounds because his confirmation hearing was coming up, again. Next week, I think. That would indicate he has to go through it again but this time I don't think he has the opposition nor are there enough votes to block his confirmation.
A recess appointment is only good until the NEXT new Congressional session starts...so, after the November elections..those who are elected will be sworn in in January...
So that is how long Bolton has, until the new Congress is sworn in in January...unless they confirm him before hand for a full stint under President Bush.
