What constitutes a recess. The real issue is the fact that Congress, when controlled by one party, can essentially never fully go into recess (more than 3 days), preventing recess appointments or the fail safe the founders added into the Constitution if the President saw none of his vacancies filled during the Senate's last session.
As Alito stated in the 9-0 decision against Obama's attempt at recess appointments in one of those 3 day periods, this recess power is something that is past its time.
I am not talking about a recess appointment.
