I have a problem with the whole idea that Congress has any prerogative that allows it to prevent the President from performing his Constitutionally required duties. The Constitution gives the Senate the right to set its own rules, but not the right to set rules for other branches of government.

Hopefully the above describes a qualitative difference in the two approaches. Certainly in your understanding of the differences but hardly portrays evenhandedness. It simply ignores the Obama administration's argument that (a) the false recesses are just that, and (b) the failure to consider the Cordray appointment and the labor relations board appointments was directed at rendering those agencies ineffective, not at performing the proper role of the senate. Looks to me as if it's an open and shut case.
