"senate can't recess for more than 3 days without the house's permission (per the constitution, doncha know). and the house hasn't given the senate permission to recess. so they aren't in recess."

Perhaps the clever little blog isnt really that clever?

You mean, according to comments on a blog page, perhaps the Congresswoman's quotes are factually wrong?

I think the point is that if you want to call out the President for making recess appointments when the Congress is not in recess, don't say, in the press release, that you'll do so as soon as you return from that recess. Duh.

The House is in recess. The Senate is not (officially). Therefore Congress is not in recess though part of Congress, the House is.
