A recess appointment by the President of the United States expires at the end of the next session of the Senate. This means that if the Senate is not in session when the appointment is made, the appointee can serve until the end of the Senate's next session, typically lasting until the following January or February. If Congress is in session when the appointment is made, the appointee serves only until the end of that session.

How is a recess appointment different from a presidential appointment?

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.

Impeach him. The appointment in question was the director of a legally-established (and much-needed) agency. Obama's predecessor made appointments under similar circumstances. The question of whether the Senate was in recess when Obama made the appointment will likely be settled by the Supreme Court.

Bush's appointment of Charles Pickering to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in 2004. Another significant instance is President Franklin D. Roosevelt's recess appointment of William O.

Where in the constitution does it say that the executive branch can choose candidates for the judicial branch?

Article II, Sec. 2, second paragraph. President can 'choose candidates' and the Senate must approve, or "concur," by a 2/3's vote. Note, however, in the third (next) paragraph, if the Senate is not in session (or in 'recess') when a vacancy occurs, the President can appoint a judge, etc., to fill the position. This appointment, unlike many/most judicial appointments, expires and is not a lifetime appointment.
