Bush recess appointment to labor board draws fire

President Bush's decision last month to grant a recess appointment to a Republican lawyer to sit on the governing body for federal labor-management disputes is drawing criticism.

Bush's decision leaves a Democratic slot on the panel unfilled.

The Federal Labor Relations Authority is an independent agency with three Senate-confirmed presidential appointees who set policies and adjudicate disputes between federal labor unions and agencies. By law, only two of the three slots can go to people with the same political affiliation

Beyer joins Dale Cabaniss, former chief counsel for the Senate Governmental Affairs Subcommittee on the Civil Service under Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska. Cabaniss was confirmed by the Senate in October 2003.

2. Can the Senate not recess?

I would laugh myself sick if some technicality could be found wherein the Senate never formally recesses and denies the Junta the ability to make recess appointments.
