President Obama: Appoint Everyone
Mr. President, please move now to appoint qualified, talented, progressive, diverse individuals to fill every federal vacancy within 6 months. Send appointments to the Senate and make recess appointments where appropriate.
Why is this important?
There are hundreds of high level open positions in the federal government, and Republican judges just moved to gut the president's recess appointment power. The first step in fighting back is for President Obama to make qualified appointments to fill every vacancy. No major federal job should sit unfilled for more than 6 months.
