SCOTUS trivia

We know that life-term Supreme Court nominations are made by the President and by the U.S. Senate. But did you know that the president can make a short-term recess appointment to the Supreme Court? A recess appointment does not require a vote of the Senate, but it only lasts until the end of the next session of Congress. Your question for the week: How many recess appointments to the Supreme Court have there been?

a) Twelve
b) Three
c) Seventeen
d) Eight

The correct answer: Twelve. The most recent recess appointment was made by President Dwight Eisenhower.
