President Romney will be glad to make all these recess appointments. I am
sure that Trevor and Charles won't mind. Jim Bopp

I expect that would go over really well with Senate Republicans.
While he's at it, how about some FEC nominations from the President?

Of course, under the Constitution (as strictly construed, as I’m sure Brad

with names” for the President to appoint—the President is supposed to
nominate the persons he deems best, and the Senate is supposed to exercise its
powers of “advice and consent”…

The president did put forward the names of proposed Democratic
commissioners, but Republicans have not come forward with names.

Well, it’s not exactly like the President has nominated people who are
waiting to be confirmed, or made recess appointments, which he seems to be
willing to do even when the House and Senate have not declared themselves in
recess. Perhaps we should say “thanks to bipartisan lack of interest.”
