In a case freighted with major constitutional implications, a federal appeals court on Friday overturned President Obamaââ¬â¢s controversial recess appointments from last year, ruling he abused his powers and acted when the Senate was not actually in a recess.
The three-judge panelââ¬â¢s ruling is a major blow to Mr. Obama. The judges ruled that the appointments he made to the National Labor Relations Board are illegal, and hence the five-person board did not have a quorum to operate.
