Supreme Court limits Obama recess appointment power
The Supreme Court ruled Obama exceeded his powers in appointing three on the National Labor Relations Board during pro forma Senate sessions, a decision framed as a necessary check on executive overreach.

The ruling coincided with a separate decision upholding warrant requirements for cell phone searches, reinforcing privacy protections. Boehner announced a move to seek a federal court ruling against unilateral executive actions, signaling ongoing legal battles over executive power.
