Recess Appointments Unconstitutional?

Federal Court Rules Obama Labor Board Recess Appointments Are Unconstitutional.

When Obama filled the vacancies on Jan. 4, 2012, Congress was on an extended holiday break. But GOP lawmakers gaveled in for a few minutes every three days just to prevent Obama from making recess appointments. The White House argued that the pro forma sessions – some lasting less than a minute – were a sham.

The court rejected that argument, but went even further, finding that under the Constitution, a recess occurs only during the breaks between formal year-long sessions of Congress, not just any informal break when lawmakers leave town. It also held that presidents can bypass the Senate only when administration vacancies occur during a recess.

What Obama take an unconstitutional action ?

And apparently, ALL presidents before Obama as well...not like Obama invented this....bush had 171 recess appointments and 29 under the circumstance that Obama used...??? guess this is going to the supreme court...

And talk about what the meaning of is, is.

the court made its decision on the word "the" "the recess".....

congress needs to stop the bull crap of 22 second sessions as making them "in session".....that's utter bullcrap too and definitely NOT what the constitution or founders intended as being in session, in my opinion.

I doubt this decision survives for long.

If it does..it's going to make governance extremely difficult.

Yup, going around the law is much easier when you don't have federal judges telling the public you're breaking the law.

Supreme Court Ho that I wrote refers to it is going to the Supreme Court. I have no idea how the quote came at the end.

The first Federal Courts are the US District Courts, then the US Court of Appeals and last is the US Supreme Court.
Your statement: "Don't you know what a federal court is?" shows you do not know very much about the US Court System.

I love it. Righties cheering on rulings out of anger at Obama...they have very little understanding of what they are cheering except that Obama looks like he lost one

The quote came at the end because somehow you edited out your /quote.

It would be up to the administration to take it to SCOTUS. The intent of the Constitution is to have the Senate vet appointments and not to play games avoiding it. Since this has been done before by Presidents, it's up to the administration to determine if they can get a favorable decision from SCOTUS, or they may decide to allow a President to continue doing such appointments in that manner and not get a ruling.

Article 2, Section 2, Clauses 2 and 3 of the U.S. Constitution, states:

The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.

Ike put 3 people on the Supreme Court with recess appointments.

Where's the beef?

Were you telling them to do their job when they began not pass a budget? Something they have not been doing for 6 years now, right after the d's took control, and just before the economy went tits up.

Before Obama, presidents made the appointments when the Senate was actually in recess.

Obama is the one who took it upon himself to tell the Senate that they were in recess when they were still in session.

BIG difference.

Obama Can't Make Recess Appointments Without a Recess | Debate Club | US News Opinion

On Tuesday, the Senate gaveled in to start the second session of the 112nd Congress. On Wednesday, Obama declared the Senate to be in recess so he could "recess appoint" Richard Cordray to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and radical union lawyers to the National Labor Relations Board. He called them "recess appointments" even though the Senate was not in recess. It's ridiculous.


please find me where it says that the Pres can declare Congress to be in recess.

I keep forgetting that liberals don't like to get 'all' the facts before they blather.
