Recess appointments don't work the way most people think they do. It can turn into an ugly feud between Congress and the President. They will only happen if there's agreement between the two. And yes, there's the rub.

My understanding is that if Mike Johnson places the House in recess, the President can recess the Senate regardless of what Senators want. Then he makes his appointments. Is that wrong?
