Download or read book Recess Appointments written by Chambers Y. Nells and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under the Constitution (Article II, Section 2, Clause 2), the President and the Senate share the power to make appointments to high-level policy-making positions in federal departments, agencies, boards, and commissions. Generally, the President nominates individuals to these positions, and the Senate must confirm them before he can appoint them to office. The Constitution also provides an exception to this process. When the Senate is in recess, the President may make a temporary appointment, called a recess appointment, to any such position without Senate approval (Article II, Section 2, Clause 3). This book provides a legal overview of the practice and responses to frequently asked questions.

Book excerpt: Article II of the Constitution provides that the President "shall nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall appoint ambassadors, other public ministers and counsels, judges of the Supreme Court, and all other officers of the United States, whose appointments are not herein otherwise provided for and which shall be established by law." As a supplement to this authority, the Constitution further provides that "[t]he 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 Recess Appointments Clause was designed to enable the President to ensure the unfettered operation of the government during periods when the Senate was not in session and therefore unable to perform its advice and consent function. In addition to fostering administrative continuity, Presidents have exercised authority under the Recess Appointments Clause for political purposes, appointing officials who might have difficulty securing Senate confirmation. Coupled with the ambiguities inherent in interpreting the Clause, the President's use of the recess appointment power in such a fashion has given rise to significant political and legal controversy since the beginning of the Republic. This report provides an overview of the Clause, with a focus on its historical application and interpretation. This report is a companion piece to CRS Report RL32971, Judicial Recess Appointments: A Legal Overview, by T.J. Halstead (2005), which focuses specifically on the application and interpretation of the Clause in the judicial context.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Constitution allows the president to "fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commission which shall expire at the End of their next Session." This book addresses how presidents have used recess appointments over time and whether the independence of judicial recess appointees is compromised. The authors examine every judicial recess appointment from 1789 to 2005 and conclude that the recess appointment clause, as it pertains to the judiciary, is no longer necessary or desirable. They argue that these appointments can upset the separation of powers envisioned by the framers, shifting power from one branch of government to another. The strategic use of such appointments by strong presidents to shift judicial ideology, combined with the lack of independence exhibited by judicial recess appointments, results in recess power that threatens constitutional features of the judicial branch.
