A recess appointment is a temporary appointment made by the President of the United States while the Senate is in recess, allowing the appointee to serve without Senate confirmation. This type of appointment lasts only until the end of the Senate's next session, whereas a standard presidential appointment requires Senate confirmation and can last much longer, potentially for the appointee's term or even for life in the case of federal judges. Recess appointments are often used to bypass Senate gridlock or delays in the confirmation process.
