House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) says she is �very glad� and �proud� that President Barack Obama appointed a director to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and three members of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) without putting them through Senate confirmations.
Article 2, Section 2 of the Constitution requires presidential appointees to be confirmed by the Senate before they can take office unless the Senate is in recess or if the appointments are to inferior offices that Congress has legally given the president the power to control. When the Senate is in recess, the president can make temporary appointments that last only until the end of the next session of Congress.

Recess appointments have been made over the years byy both parties. The opposing party understands this usually howls and the they do the same when they are in office. Nothing new or unconstitutional about it.

Problem is the House and Senate are still technically in session.
