If members of one party, refuse to allow a vote to proceed on a nominee, and the Constitution clearly allows recess appointments, then somebody should work in Washington and do something! Obama did, he appointed them under constitutional law. As was already mentioned, instead of the obstructionist party tactics, allow our Government to function!! Seems pretty common sense.

It allows the the President to overcome the inability or refusal of Congress to confirm or reject, yet allows the position to be filled only until the next session of Congress.

That said, if obstructing congress members do not want the president to make these recess appointments, they should bring the nominees up for vote and stay in session until they can do so.
