This is the crux of it, and the danger, as precedent. There have been other examples, but it is easy to appoint people, and have them approve your wishes without going through the processes normally required for a law to be passed. You may agree with it, or disagree with it, but it is not the process required by the Constitution to make law. Any other argument is just on the fine points...
