On recess appointments

http://www.senate.gov/reference/resources/pdf/RS21308.pdf

Eisenhower nominated Earl Warren to the Supreme Court as a recess appointment.

“Eisenhower gave Warren a recess appointment that began on October 1, 1953. It was made permanent when the Senate acted on March 1, 1954. No serious opposition had appeared and he was confirmed by unanimous voice vote.”

I’ve now read three different names and two different years for Ike’s recess SCOTUS appointment(s).
