Are recess appointments permanent?

Or does it just forestall Senatorial approval?

If the former, we need to change that once we have the government back.

5. I was worried for a second! I thought Barney wasn't in your sig anymore

Then he showed up. Whew...!

[johncoby2]

3. NO. It is good only for the Congress which ends in 2007.

But he can do alot of damage in 1.5 years.

4. everyone else has answered but

he can't be recess appointed a second time.

[BrotherBuzz]

6. No need for a second appointment...

His evil deeds will have been accomplished long before Jan 2007.

[Freddie Stubbs]

7. Sure he can

He just needs to wait until the next Congress recesses. That usually happens every few months.

8. If you want him out you'll just have to spit in his face

and have him arrested when he assaults you...
