This has prompted widespread discussion and speculation regarding recess appointments in news media and online forums, with much confusion. The following resource addresses some common questions regarding the President\u2019s and Congress\u2019s constitutional appointment powers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Question 1: <\/strong>Is it constitutional for a President to initiate recess appointments of executive branch officers, including cabinet officials?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer: <\/strong>Yes. The Constitution explicitly provides for the President to initiate recess appointments under Article II, Section 2, Clause 3, \u201c<em>The President shall have the 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.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The founders understood the need for the President to choose the members of his administration in order to faithfully carry out the duties of the Executive Branch. During the Constitutional Convention of 1787, James Wilson of Pennsylvania argued that \u201cGood laws are of no effect without a good Executive; and there can be no good Executive without a responsible appointment of officers to execute.\u201d Wilson, and the rest of the founders, understood that the President had a right to a team of executive officers whom the President trusted to perform his duties.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Question 2: <\/strong>Does not the Constitution allow recess appointments only in certain emergency-type situations?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer: <\/strong>No, the Constitution does not require an emergency for the President to appointment executive officers during a Senate recess. The Courts have found that all vacancies present during a recess\u2014i.e., \u201cthat happen to exist\u201d\u2014regardless of whether they arose during or prior to that recess, are eligible for filling with a recess appointment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are numerous examples of past Presidents making appointments during routine Senate recesses. President George W. Bush made 171 recess appointments over the course of his two terms, 141 of those during<em> intra-session<\/em> recesses. Presidents Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan also made use of the recess appointment power to appoint executive branch officials when the Senate was in recess.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Question 3: <\/strong>Is it constitutional for a President, at the outset of their administration, to initiate recess appointments of executive branch officers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer: <\/strong>Yes. This is not a legal question, it\u2019s a practical one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Historically, the Senate could be expected to give a simple voice vote to each nominee of the President, exercising its advice-and-consent power in just hours or days. Given the extraordinary growth in the size of the administrative state and the number of executive branch appointments subject to Senate confirmation (about 1,200 out of 4,000 total appointed positions), plus the increase in the amount of time taken for each nomination to be considered under current practice, the President is functionally prohibited from exercising his full executive authority until months after taking office. The modern conventions of Senate confirmation include extensive background checks, committee hearings, and multiple votes. Consequently, the average number of days it took the Senate to confirm a presidential nominee for a Senate-confirmed office (excluding federal judges, U.S. marshals, and U.S. attorneys) was approximately 130 during the Obama Administration, 154 during the first Trump Administration, and 137 during the Biden Administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recess appointments are a constitutional remedy that enables the President to administer the government while the Senate continues to consider nominees. As President Monroe\u2019s Attorney General, William Wirt, propounded in his cornerstone opinion interpreting the Recess Appointments Clause: \u201cThe substantial purpose of the [C]onstitution was to keep these offices filled; and powers adequate to this purpose were intended to be conveyed.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Question 4: <\/strong>Is Senate confirmation a prerequisite for an officer to serve in the Executive branch?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer: <\/strong>No.The Appointments Clause and the Recess Appointments Clause are equally viable methods for appointing officers to executive positions. Under the Recess Appointments Clause, the President may temporarily appoint officers to vacant offices without the advice and consent of the Senate when the Senate is in a recess of a sufficient length of time (not less than 10 days).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Question 5: <\/strong>Isn\u2019t using recess appointments just a way to bypass the Senate\u2019s advice and consent power?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer: <\/strong>Not at all. Advice and consent is unquestionably a Senate power granted by the Constitution, which is whyPresidents typically submit recess-appointed officers to the Senate for confirmation. If the Senate fails to confirm a recess appointee, those appointed would be unable to remain in the role after the recess commission expires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Question 6: <\/strong>What is the term of office for officials appointed via Recess Appointment power?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer: <\/strong>The Recess Appointments Clause, Article II, Section 2, Clause 3, provides that the President \u201cshall 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.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Supreme Court has found that\u2014absent Senate confirmation of the recess appointee\u2014a recess appointment made <em>inter-session <\/em>(between <em>sine die<\/em> adjournments of Congress) permits the appointee to serve until the end of the next Senate session (about one year). However, an appointment made <em>intra-session <\/em>(during a session of Congress) permits the appointee to serve until the end of the <em>following<\/em> session (about two years).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Question 7: <\/strong>Is the recess appointment power constitutionally inferior to the other appointment power?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer: <\/strong>No. The Courts and the Executive Branch have firmly rejected any notion that recess appointments are somehow constitutionally inferior. The Supreme Court has unequivocally stated that the Constitution is to be regarded as a singular instrument, and all its provisions are to be deemed equally valid, including the Recess Appointment Clause. A recess appointee, like a Senate-confirmed appointee, has been appointed by a method specified in the Constitution and truly holds the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Question 8: <\/strong>Are there any limits on the President\u2019s power to recess appointment officers?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer: <\/strong>Yes, recess appointments can only be made during recesses of certain length.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a recent unanimous decision, <em>National Labor Relations Board v. Noel Canning<\/em><em>, <\/em>the Supreme Court provided clear guidelines for the constitutionality of recess appointments. The Court found that all vacancies present during a recess\u2014i.e., \u201cthat happen to exist\u201d\u2014regardless of whether they arose during or prior to that recess, are eligible for filling with a recess appointment. It also found that recess appointments can be made during both <em>inter-session <\/em>(between <em>sine die<\/em> adjournments of Congress) and <em>intra-session <\/em>(during a session of Congress) recesses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <em>Canning<\/em>, the Court ultimately rejected President Obama\u2019s recess appointments on the grounds that the recess was too short (the Senate had convened for <em>pro forma<\/em> sessions so that no recess had lasted longer than 3 days). Based on history and practice, the Court dictated that a recess must be at least 10 days long for a recess appointment to be in order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Question 9: <\/strong>Can the President initiate a recess?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer: <\/strong>Yes, in a specific circumstance. Article II, Section 3 gives the President authority to adjourn Congress when the two Chambers of Congress have a \u201cdisagreement\u201d about the timing of an adjournment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c[The President] may\u2026 convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It must be noted that while Presidents have convened Congress dozens of times (most recently President Truman in 1948) the power to adjourn has never been exercised. That being said, adjourning Congress requires a Concurrent Resolution passed by both the House and Senate. It stands to reason that if one body were to pass an adjournment resolution and the other were not, the presidential power to adjourn would be activated (a sort of \u201ctie-breaker\u201d between the bodies). Concurrent resolutions are privileged, meaning they cannot be filibustered in the Senate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Question 10: <\/strong>Did Senate confirmations look different during the founding era?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer: <\/strong>Yes, very different. Background checks, committee referrals, and the summoning of presidential nominees for lengthy hearings and invasive inquisitions were all completely foreign to the Framers. Historically, the President of the Senate could assign a day for consideration of the President\u2019s nominees, to be taken up in executive session on the floor and voted on. Thus the Senate could\u2014and often did\u2014discharge its advice-and-consent power within just one or two days. For example, Alexander Hamilton\u2019s nomination to the Office of Secretary of the Treasury was approved by the Senate on the same day it was submitted by President Washington.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Question 11: <\/strong>Does <em>Federalist No. 67 <\/em>repudiate the notion of utilizing recess appointments as a means of putting Cabinet officers in place?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer: <\/strong>No. Hamilton makes it clear that while recess appointments are typically considered an auxiliary method, they are constitutionally provided \u201cin cases in which the general method was inadequate.\u201d Long structural delays in the existing general method that averaged nearly <em>five months<\/em> during the first Trump administration and over <em>four months<\/em> during the Biden administration can reasonably be construed as an <em>inadequacy<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Question 12: <\/strong>Is there any limit to the number of recess appointments that can be made?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer: <\/strong>No, the Constitution does not limit the number of recess appointments that can be made.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Question 13: <\/strong>Is there a limited government argument for recess appointments?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer: <\/strong>Yes. Long structural delays in the existing \u201cadvice and consent\u201d allow the federal bureaucracy to operate on autopilot with or without executive branch leadership. The timely appointment of the President\u2019s team ensures that a department or agency operates under the elected President\u2019s vision and is consistent with the will of the people as opposed to the whims of an unelected bureaucracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Question 14: <\/strong>If Republicans establish a practice of recess appointments won\u2019t the next Democratic President do the same?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer: <\/strong>The Constitution applies to both parties alike. Any future President may lawfully make recess appointments during an adjournment of sufficient length whether the current President does so or not.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Framer\u2019s vision of the executive authority of the President was that Presidents are entitled to their team, subject to the advice-and-consent of the Senate and the limitations of recess appointees. Congress also has several other checks and balances upon the executive, including advice and consent, oversight,&nbsp; appropriations, making laws, and the veto override.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further, conservatives should consider whether a Republican President who is prevented from wielding influence over the administrative state is not in a much worse position than a Democratic President who is prevented from doing so.The unconstitutional administrative state tends to keep rolling along when officials have not been appointed to direct it. In which direction does that inertia trend?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Question 15: <\/strong>Are recess appointments \u2018constitutional gimmicks,\u2019 \u2018loopholes,\u2019 and \u2018back up plans\u2019?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer: <\/strong>No. Recess appointments are a specific constitutional tool outlined in Article II, Section 2, Clause 3 to ensure the President can effectively execute the laws of the land when, as Hamilton articulates in <em>Federalist No. 67<\/em>, the general method is inadequate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That the constitutional appointment power is considered by some a \u201cgimmick\u201d or \u201cloophole\u201d only underscores how far removed we are from constitutional governance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/americarenewing.com\/ (Center For Renewing America) Mr Vought sat down with Tucker Carlson for a lengthy interview outlining what he learned about how the deep state actually works. {The &#8220;deep state&#8221;, unelected people in government, work in conjunction with the intel agencies to control the government.
