There is a legit legal debate here. See Judge Napolitano's piece on the subject. You need to have been confirmed by the Senate for any position to be eligible for appointment under vacancies act. Trump should have appointed Scott Pruitt... There would be better legal standing.

No one in the political know would ever refer to Judge Nap as a legitimate source. That’s like posting a link to huffington post or the hill. Wait...

Its a separate matter from a recess appointment.

A recess appointee can serve until the end of the incoming congress or two years.

He can always seek Senate confirmation.

Yes, and it's a pretty interesting one.

Unfortunatly, the state of this forum is such that of 135 posts only three even obliquely address the arguments made in the article.

Most just declare that since it isn't favorable to Trump it must be wrong, Constitutionally uninformed and a betrayal.
