The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to decide the scope of a president's constitutional authority to make recess appointments, a power that Democratic and Republican administrations have used for decades to install nominees without Senate confirmation.
The justices agreed to consider an appeal by the Obama administration, which is seeking to overturn a lower-court ruling that invalidated President Barack Obama's use of recess appointments to fill vacancies at the National Labor Relations Board. That ruling threatened the legitimacy of hundreds of actions the labor board has taken since the president used the recess power to install three new board members on Jan. 4, 2012.
See it is posted here. Thanks to you both.
For example if Hillary had died while the Senate was in recess Zippo could have made anyone SOS at that time. It is not to fill positions created ie labor board.
