I urge you to stand firm against abusing the recess appointment power, which undermines the constitutional system of checks and balances. Circumventing the Senate's advice and consent role for executive branch appointments is a dangerous precedent that concentrates power in the presidency. We must uphold the founders' vision of separated, co-equal branches of government to safeguard our democratic institutions. Recess appointments should only be exercised in legitimate cases of protracted Senate delay, not as a tool to bypass the lawful confirmation process. Respect for the Constitution and rule of law demands rejecting this unacceptable overreach of executive authority.
