                               RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the President 
 exercised the recess appointment power despite the fact that neither 
 the House of Representatives nor the Senate have been adjourned for a 
 period in excess of three days during the Second Session of the 112th 
                               Congress.

Whereas the House of Representatives met on January 3, 2012, and again on 
        January 6, 2012, constituting each as a legislative day;
Whereas article I, section 5, clause 4 of the Constitution requires either House 
        of Congress to consent to an adjournment of the other in excess of three 
        days;
Whereas the House of Representatives neither considered nor passed a concurrent 
        resolution providing for an adjournment in excess of three days for 
        either House of Congress during the period beginning on January 3, 2012, 
        and ending on January 6, 2012; and
Whereas on January 4, 2012, the President appointed Sharon Block, Terence F. 
        Flynn, and Richard Griffin as members of the National Labor Relations 
        Board and Richard Cordray as the director of the Consumer Financial 
        Protection Bureau: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that 
the President exercised the recess appointment power despite the fact 
that neither the House of Representatives nor the Senate have been 
adjourned for a period in excess of three days during the Second 
Session of the 112th Congress.
