Further...
I saw something on my Twitter feed (I think from @dangillmor) about how Obama making the appointment of Cordray today instead of yesterday somehow means that the appointment will be effective through the end of 2013, and not the end of 2012. I didn't have time to read the linked article, but it's an interesting point, if true.

Yup.

There had been debate over whether Mr. Obama could have avoided a constitutional challenge by making the appointment on Tuesday in the short window between the end of the first and beginning of the second session of the 112th Congress. By moving ahead after the new session started, the president may have provided Republicans a chance to argue that, technically, the recess appointment was invalid. Recess appointments end when the next Senate session ends - so they last at most 2 years. http://en.wikipedia....cess_appointments He seems to have played this very, very well. Cheers, Scott. |
