Will Republicans Finally Impeach over "Uncertain" Recess Appointment

Expose Obama -- Ben Johnson
The Constitution clearly states that recess appointments are permitted only when the Senate is in "recess." When the Senate is in sesison, it is their Constitutional duty to advise and give their consent to Presidential nominees.
“This recess appointment represents a sharp departure from a long-standing precedent that has limited the President to recess appointments only when the Senate is in a recess of 10 days or longer,”McConnell said. “Breaking from this precedent lands this appointee in uncertain legal territory,threatens the confirmation process and fundamentally endangers the Congress’s role in providing a check on the excesses of the executive branch.”
Speaker Boehner agreed,“I expect the courts will find the appointment to be illegitimate.”
Experts say this kind of non-recess appointment is unprecedented in American history —another historic Obama first.
