That is procedure, not law, and that Byrd did it is no excuse for the GOP, either.
Bush should have hammered the Dems as Obama is hammering the Pubs right now.
Watch and learn.

Reid backs Obama after using pro forma sessions to block Bush - The Hill's On The Money
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), who previously held pro forma sessions to block recess appointments by President George W. Bush, said Wednesday he supported President Obama's decision to ignore those sessions to push through one of his key nominees.
"I support President Obama's decision," he said in a statement.
"The White House announced Wednesday that Obama planned to recess appoint Richard Cordray to be director of the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). However, Republicans immediately cried foul about the move. They argue that because the holiday break has been broken up by brief pro forma sessions, the Senate is not in recess and the appointment is illegitimate....."
".....However, the White House maintains that those sessions, typically held every three days and lasting a few seconds, are not legitimate and can be ignored for the purpose of making recess appointments......"
"......On the other side of the argument at that time was Reid, who began holding pro forma sessions in 2007 to block Bush nominees.
"I had to keep the Senate in pro-forma session to block the Bradbury appointment. That necessarily meant no recess appointments could be made," he said on the Senate floor in 2008, as Democrats blocked a potential recess appointment of Steven Bradbury to be the assistant attorney general for the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel in the Bush administration........"

Somebody on the left wanna try and explain to me why what Obama is doing isn't hypocritical? Bush couldn't do it, but Obama can? Why?
I though Obama studied law at some point.
Leaving aside the constitutional questions, there is a potential statutory problem with the legality of the Cordray appointment under Dodd-Frank. Section 1066 of Dodd-Frank provides that the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to perform the functions of the CFPB under the subtitle transferring authority to the CFPB from the other agencies until the Director of the Bureau is confirmed by the Senate in accordance with Section 1011. It turns out that section 1011 is a defined term which provides: The Director shall be appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate.
This seems to suggest that even if the President might be able to appoint Cordray under the recess power the full grant of statutory authority wouldnt transfer to the Bureau unless the statutory language was fulfilled as well.

Nah, the minority does not say when the Senate is in session, and the President has the authority to make a recess appointment. The courts will rule for the president on this one.
If the Dems in power in the Senate says it was in recess, the minority cannot overrule it. Minority interp does not rule in this case. The courts will rule for the Dems. Republicans have many other problems without fighting a losing one like this.
Neither House, during the Session of Congress, shall, without the Consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days, nor to any other Place than that in which the two Houses shall be sitting.

Sadly, you have no facts on your side.
Sadly, you have no idea on how to recess the Senate. Watch, wait, and learn.
