A recess appointment is the appointment, by the President of the United States, of a senior federal official while the U.S. Senate is in recess. The United States Constitution requires that the most senior federal officers must be confirmed by the Senate before assuming office, but while the Senate is in recess the President may act alone by making a recess appointment to fill "Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate." To remain in effect, a recess appointment must be approved by the Senate by the end of the next session of Congress, or the position becomes vacant again; in current practice this means that a recess appointment must be approved by roughly the end of the next calendar year. Recess appointments are authorized by Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution, which states:
It has been argued that as the clause was originally understood, it was expected that if the Senate was in session when an office became vacant, the president would make a standard advice-and-consent appointment at that time. In Federalist No. 67, Alexander Hamilton wrote:

With the rising costs of salon appointments, along with everything else, it’s not hard to see why the “recession hair” trend has taken hold as a practical and pretty alternative to the fashional and financial burden.
This brought on celebration from MAGA Republicans, who detest the Kentuckian with the heat of a thousand suns ... Sen ... Sen ... Full speech ... Senate Republicans sued and won when Obama illegally named recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board.
Experts also question whether the provision can be read as applying to vacancies that occur before the congressional recess in which the appointment by decree is carried out.
The appointments, made days before Congress reconvenes from its summer recess, are temporary — the judges' terms expire at the end of the next congressional session on Nov ... a congressional recess.
