A recess appointment occurs when the President of the United States fills a vacant federal position, of a sufficiently senior level that the nomination must be confirmed by the Senate, while the Senate is in recess. To be confirmed, the appointment must be approved by the Senate by the end of the next session of Congress (which in current practice means by roughly the end of the next calendar year), or the position becomes vacant again.

dbpprop:abstract
  • A recess appointment occurs when the President of the United States fills a vacant federal position, of a sufficiently senior level that the nomination must be confirmed by the Senate, while the Senate is in recess. To be confirmed, the appointment must be approved by the Senate by the end of the next session of Congress (which in current practice means by roughly the end of the next calendar year), or the position becomes vacant again. Recess appointments are authorized by Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution: "The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session."
  • 休会任命(きゅうかいにんめい、Recess Appointment)はアメリカ合衆国における政治制度の一つ。 なお、日本の国会の場合はある会期と次の会期の間の呼称は「閉会(中)」とされており、「休会」はある会期の最中における一時的休止を指す(つまり閉会中の暫定的任命はあっても休会中の暫定的任命はない)ため、この「休会任命」の語を日本の制度説明に流用する場合は注意を要する。
