In the United States,a recess appointment is an appointment by the president of a federal official when the U.S. Senate is in recess. Under the U.S. Constitution's Appointments Clause,the President is empowered to nominate,and with the advice and consent (confirmation) of the Senate,make appointments to high-level policy-making positions in federal departments,agencies,boards,and commissions,as well as to the federal judiciary. A recess appointment under Article II,Section 2,Clause 3 of the Constitution is an alternative method of appointing officials that allows the temporary filling of offices during periods when the Senate is not in session. It was anticipated that the Senate would be away for months at a time,so the ability to fill vacancies in important positions when the Senate is in recess and unavailable to provide advice and consent was deemed essential to maintain government function,as described by Alexander Hamilton in No. 67 of The Federalist Papers.
