President Ronald Reagan made 240 recess appointments (average 30 per year).

President George H. W. Bush made 77 recess appointments (average 19 per year).

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).

President Barack Obama made 32 recess appointments (through February 1, 2015), all to full-time positions.

Neither President Trump or President Joe Biden were able to use recess appointments. The Senate blocked them using pro-forma sessions.

Make THIS TIME different. President Trump needs a full staff immediately.
Support only Senators and House members that will allow recess appointments.
