Is a recess appointment possible?

September 7, 2010 | CFPB Nomination, Elizabeth Warren, Financial Reform Bill - CFPB | Comments (0)

TalkingPointsMemo, a well read liberal blog, turns up the heat: 

There are only a few days left until Congress returns to session, and that means President Obama faces a deadline, of sorts, if he wants to quickly fill vacancies in his administration. Obama has until the beginning of next week to offer recess appointments to nominees or expected nominees to positions that typically require Senate confirmation.

Highlighting the progressive angst about Obama’s general unwillingness to exercise his recess appointment power are new website ads, produced by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, pressuring him to give Elizabeth Warren the top slot at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
