Whatever happened to all those FB memes comparing past presidents??? (everything should be as simple as it can be but not simpler!, Albert Einstein) >>>>>Ronald Reagan made 232 recess appointments during his eight years in office. Bill Clinton and George W. Bush each made well more than 100. In 1903, Theodore Roosevelt made more than 160 recess appointments during one short break between congressional sessions. To date, Obama has made only 32 recess appointments. But in this case, he did so to get around the Senates intransigence rather than its absence -- something both liberal and conservative justices frowned upon during oral arguments in January. The recess appointments power was more pertinent when senators left town on horseback, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said at the time.
