"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House signaled on Monday that President Bush may bypass the Senate and appoint John Bolton, his embattled nominee for U.N. ambassador, to the post temporarily as hope faded for a Senate vote on the nomination."
"McClellan declined to say whether Bolton would receive a recess appointment.
But when asked in general about possible recess appointments, McClellan said, "If the Senate fails to act and move forward on those nominees, then sometimes there comes a point where the president has needed to fill that in a timely manner by recessing those nominees."
YES!! It is time for Bush to put the hammer down on this one. The Senate should do it's job, and if they can't then Bush is OBLIGATED to make the appointment any way he can.
