Credit: Reuters/Jonathan Ernst WASHINGTON | Mon Jun 24, 2013 9:43am EDT WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday agreed to hear a closely watched case involving the National Labor Relations Board that raises fundamental questions about the authority of the U.S. president to make appointments without Senate approval. In the court's next term, starting in October, the court will consider whether three appointments President Barack Obama made to the board in January 2012 were invalid because the Senate was not technically in recess at the time. The case involves what is known as "recess appointments." That refers to when a president makes an appointment to a position requiring Senate approval, often naming an appointee who would have had trouble winning Senate confirmation.
