A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit said
that Obama did not have the power to make three recess appointments last
year to the National Labor Relations Board.
The unanimous decision is an embarrassing setback for the president, who
made the appointments after Senate Republicans spent months blocking his
choices for an agency they contended was biased in favor of unions.
The ruling also throws into question Obama's recess appointment of Richard
Cordray to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Cordray's
appointment, also made under the recess circumstance, has been challenged in
a separate case.
