See: Manhattan Moment: Expressly illegal 'appointment' violates Obama's oath
The president cannot require Congress to act on his priorities. To the contrary, Congress acts independently of the president as a check and balance to his power.Precedent is a bitch. If this abomination is not slapped down now, there will be no stopping any future President from using it.
Obama's view that he may decide when the Senate has gone into recess virtually nullifies the Senate's advice and consent role. Under this rationale, what would stop the president from declaring recesses every weekend so that he can make unilateral appointments?
Any-time that the Senate or the House goes quite for short holidays and weekends will become an opportunity for an opportunistic President to make a "Recess Appointment."
So what will voters do about this in November? Will they reward Obama and his enablers in the Democrat Party by returning them to office?
Ultimately it is we the voters that are the last line of defence of the constitution.
It is up to us.
Vote them out.

It is an unfortunate fact of life that there are people out there in the wilds of the Internet that think it cute to post racist and Nazi garbage on other peoples websites. Some of these thugs are even enabled by people who should know better. In my opinion, both the thugs and their enablers are worse than spammers.
I have recently made enemies with a particular group of these people who have done just that on another website. I don't intend to make it easy for them to do that to me.
In light of that, comment moderation will be used here on this humble and very obscure little blog.
I will check in several times each day to approve appropriate comments.
For the most part, I will allow just about any type of comment except for spam and Kilgorian excrement.
