Recess appointments are only valid during the current session of Congress and thus are only temporary. When the new Congress convened in January 2005, a recess appointee's name would have to be re-submitted and the process would start over from scratch.

I certainly wouldn't want to go through this garbage again if I were an appointee targeted as some like Estrada have been. That is why, as PKM says, it is vital that we get enough of a majority in the Senate to stop this travesty.

Why is the GOP bound by rules and the evil perverted socialist SOB democrats not.

If the definition and procedure for filibusters can change, so can the definition and procedures for recess appointments.
