What is the scope of the President’s recess appointment power?
Learn about the 2014 Supreme Court case National Labor Relations Board v. Noel Canning Corporation – the parties, questions presented, case background, and law. The primary sources segment is particularly impressive.
Student instructions: “Using historical materials related to the appointment clause, write an appellate brief arguing whether history does, or does not support the President’s power to make recess appointments during a session of the Senate. Further, also address whether the vacancy must have arisen during the recess.”
