So, it is not a question of how long the Senate was not in session ... instead it is a question of when the vacancy occured!An excellent point; I had not noticed it before.

It is amazing how clear the constitution really is on just about everything! There is literally no need to “interpret” anything.
We have been told for decades that the President can “Recess Appoint” a nominee that had not yet been approved by the Senate. No one ever questions it. And even the “debaters” in the article seem to ignore these words completely.
