RE: Obama’s Power Grab Slapped Down

from Commentary Magazine by John Steele Gordon:

RE: Obama’s Power Grab Slapped Down:

Assuming this decision holds up—and it is powerfully argued—President Obama’s overreach here has had the effect of severely limiting his power to make recess appointments.

It will be far more constrained than the power such presidents as Eisenhower and George W. Bush exercised. Indeed, since Congress is now in session most of the year, unless the vacancy occurs in the month of December, after Congress has gone home for the year, he no longer has any recess appointment power.
Serves him right.

The pain of arrogance....
