The Justice Department has issued a memorandum that supports President
Obama's recent recess appointments that occurred despite the fact that
the Senate is conducting pro forma sessions continuously through its
scheduled recesses. The memo concludes that the pro forma sessions do
not remove the president's ability to exercise a recess appointment
since no business is conducted during the sessions.
