A new graphic that surfaced today does a great job showing how the Obama administration manages to create law without going through the usual legislative process. President Obama just made 15 recess appointments which means the candidates for the government positions skip the usual Senate confirmation process. One appointment, in particular is Craig Becker. Mr. Becker was appointed to head up the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
A bipartisan majority in the Senate previously held up Mr. Becker's confirmation. Concern over Mr. Becker stems from his intent to alter labor law through the NLRB as opposed to the normal Congressional process. This would mean that Employee Free Choice Act (a.k.a "Card Check"), which deals with the relationship between an employer and his non-union employees, could be instituted administratively, without congressional approval.
This particular example of the Obama administration's working around the legislative process is not unusual. Check out other ways the administration has accomplished their goals when Congress could not do it for them in the graphic below.
