The National Labor Relations Board have their work cut out for them, after having over 600 decisions which were taken in 2012 being shot down by the Supreme Court. The Constitution enables the president to make high-level appointments while Congress is in recess, while President Obama made appointed officials to the NLRB in 2012–when this was not the case with the Senate. It is said that the Senate was holding sessions once in three days, so as to prevent the president from exercising his constitutional authority to make these appointments.
