Use Article II, Section 2 to use a recess appointment to appoint Merrick Garland

Recess appointments are authorized by Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution, which states: The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate. President Ronald Reagan made 240 recess appointments (average 30 per year), President George H. W. Bush made 77 recess appointments (average 19 per year), and President Bill Clinton made 139 recess appointments (average of 17 per year). President George W. Bush made 171 recess appointments (average of 21 per year), and, as of January 5, 2012, President Barack Obama has made 32 recess appointments (average of 4.5 per year). I ask that the President use this power to Fill the current vacancy on the SCOTUS. This can bypass congressional obstruction and secure a seat.
