Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Clinton make some recess appointments?

Yes he did. The most obnoxious one was Eric Holder to be Assistant Attorney General.

Clinton certainly did make some recess appointments. One was a lefty Chinese-American ACLU type. And I believe that none of Clinton's appointments got out of Committee. They were not filibustered.

Yes, lots of them. Besides, when this was put into the Constitution, it was never envisioned that Congress would stay in secession year round.

Clinton's entire White House hitch was a recess.
