d. Both A and C
i think its D
D is not right.
You are correct! A recess appointment occurs when the president makes an appointment during a congressional recess, and this power is granted by Article II, Section 2, Clause 3 of the United States Constitution. So, the correct answer is d. Both A and C.
To arrive at this answer, it is necessary to understand the process of a recess appointment and the relevant constitutional provision. A recess appointment allows the president to fill executive branch vacancies temporarily without the need for Senate confirmation. This can occur when the Senate is in recess, and the president deems it necessary to make an appointment. The president can appoint someone to a vacant position during a recess, and that person can serve until the end of the next session of the Senate. This provision is outlined in Article II, Section 2, Clause 3, also known as the Recess Appointments Clause.
By combining this knowledge of the process and understanding of the constitutional provision, you correctly determined that the statement "Both A and C" (the president's appointment during a congressional recess in accordance with Article III) is the correct answer.
