A recess appointment occurs when a President fills a vacant federal position by bypassing the Senate because of Congressional recess. Recess appointments are temporary. Appointees must be confirmed by the Senate after the next election.
United States magistrates
The US Senate hold confirmation power over many Presidential appointments.
The senate must approve or reject all major appointments made by the president including Supreme court justices, ambassadors, and cabinet members. Appointments require a majority vote or approval. So the Senate must approve it!
Most presidential appointments, including federal judges, cabinet members and ambassadors, require a simple majority vote of the Senate. Mid-term appointments of vice presidents require a simple majority vote of both Houses of Congress, and treaties require a two-thirds majority vote of the Senate.
The Constitution provides that certain nominations of the President of the United States are subject to "Advice and Consent" of the United States Senate. The House of Representatives has no role in this process. When the President makes an appointment - the party takes office immediately and does not require confirmation. Other than certain offices, such as for federal Judges and military officers and other high offices, most Presidential patronage does not require confirmation. About 1 in 10 of the President's selections for office do require confirmation by the Senate.
