Recess appointments

[Blue3]

I know one of the reasons why so many vacancies have gone unfilled under President Obama is because Congress would not technically go on recess, thereby not allowing Obama to even make a recess appointment.

And once, when Obama did try to fill some anyways, saying it effectively was a recess... and the Supreme Court ruled that was unconstitutional:

This is the #1 reason why Obama still hasn't been able to do many recess appointments to so many vacancies, right? Because Congress doesn't technically go "on recess" anymore, right? Just making sure I understand this correctly.

That's correct.

That's correct.

So the "recess" right now isn't an actual recess, correct?

That's correct.

I'm not sure if it was before, but if it was then I'm sure they're sending someone to go bang the gavel as we speak.
