John Bolton Appointed to the UN
By Damon McCullar
The White House announced this morning that John Bolton will receive a recess appointment to the UN. This move bypasses the Senate and directly appoints him. He will serve for one year and a few months. When the new Congress convenes in early 2007, his appointment will expire and he will have to go through the confirmation process once again.

You mean confirmation b/c he will not conform for anyone anywhere!
Thanks, spell check only gets you so far :) DCM
Here's a question I haven't had the time to research, so I'm hoping someone already knows. What's the constitutional history that resulted in the provision (Article II, section 2, clause 3) that allows a recess appointee to continue until the end of the current Congress, instead of only, say, serving until Congress comes back into session?
