SHEEPISH FACE ON NOW:
What does the House have to do with it? (1+ / 0-)
Recess appointments occur when the Senate is in recess.Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution, states:
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.Occupy Together Liveblog and resources

nevermind.....
the republicans are keeping the house in session without resolving the payroll tax cut and unemployment issue for yet ANOTHER reason that we're overlooking!
by refusing to resolve this and demanding the senate come back in session, the republicans can keep the congress from recessing and president obama from making recess appointments!
duh! why didn't we see this earlier?!?
wait... and watch...
immediately after the senate reconvenes, there WILL be a deal to extend for two months - but only after the holiday...
am i wrong on this?
