Obumbler is not only the first sitting president that made a "recess" appointment while the Senate was not in recess, he also has set quite a few other precedents:

Doug Ross over at Dougross@journal has compiled the complete list of Obama firsts, demonstrating that President Obama has indeed succeeded in making history.

hiroad Respected Neighbor The Hilltop 5055 Posts	In an overt attempt to prevent the President from exercising his authority during this period, Republican Senators insisted on using a gimmick called “pro forma” sessions, which are sessions during which no Senate business is conducted and instead one or two Senators simply gavel in and out of session in a matter of seconds. But gimmicks do not override the President’s constitutional authority to make appointments to keep the government running. Legal experts agree. In fact, the lawyers who advised President Bush on recess appointments wrote that the Senate cannot use sham “pro forma” sessions to prevent the President from exercising a constitutional power. Why did you conveniently forget to post the rest of the article, malodery? What a doofus! January 6th 2012 Report Reply

Because it says legal gimmicks can't be used to block the president from carrying out his constitutional power. End of story. The rest is fluff. January 6th 2012 Report Reply
