Original Note:
False. Recess appointments do NOT "get people confirmed." They are used to "temporarily install an unpopular nominee by sidestepping the Senate's role in the confirmation process." The Senate must still confirm such appointments, or they expire. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recess_appointment#:~:text=temporarily%20install%20an%20unpopular%20nominee%20by%20sidestepping%20the%20Senate%27s%20role%20in%20the%20confirmation%20process https://www.senate.gov/about/powers-procedures/nominations/executive-nominations-overview.htm#:~:text=Presidents%20have%20occasionally,during%20short%20recesses https://www.littler.com/es/publication-press/publication/president-bypasses-senate-make-recess-appointments-nlrb#:~:text=Bypassing%20the%20Senate%20confirmation%20process%2C%20the%20President%20appointed https://www.uclalawreview.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/36_52UCLALRev14872004-2005.pdf https://www.pmpa.org/supreme-court-unanimously-rules-nlrb-recess-appointments-unconstitutional/#:~:text=The%20President%20has%20the%20right%20under%20the%20Constitution%20to%20bypass%20Congress%20when%20then%20Senate%20is%20in%20%E2%80%9Crecess%E2%80%9D%20or%20%E2%80%9Cadjourned%E2%80%9D%2C%20however%2C%20Republicans%20procedurally%20blocked%20the%20Senate%20from%20going%20into%20recess%20to%20avoid%20the%20President%20installing%20controversial%20appointees https://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/26/business/court-rejects-recess-appointments-to-labor-board.html#:~:text=presidential%20%E2%80%9Crecess%E2%80%9D%20appointments%20that%20bypass%20the%20Senate%20confirmation%20process https://www.theguardian.com/law/2014/jun/26/supreme-court-rules-against-obama-recess-appointments#:~:text=Justices%20say%20president%20overstepped%20constitutional%20powers%20when%20he%20appointed%20government%20posts%20without%20Senate%20confirmation https://www.politico.com/story/2014/06/supreme-court-recess-appointments-108347
