Recess Appointments

Before our Republic friends try to make issue of the recess appointments OUR President has made, may I refer them to Article 2 of the US Constitution, Section 2, "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.".

The President at his/her discretion has a constitutional obligation as they see fit to fill vacancies. In their judgment they may do so during a recess as authorized specifically in the US Constitution. Whine as the Republic party may, this is completely within the obligation and authorization within the constitution.
