Update from the NY Post: 

"But what he did yesterday was no shot across the bow; it was, rather, a direct hit — with the Constitution taking the brunt of the blow.

Moreover, as the Cato Institute’s Mark Calabria notes, the Dodd-Frank bill, which calls for the creation of the CFPB, explicitly requires that its director be “confirmed by the Senate.”

That means that Obama’s nonrecess “recess” appointment may well violate the law, in addition to coming as part of a blatantly unconstitutional overreach."

Rep. Scott Garrett (R-NJ), Chairman of the Congressional Constitution Caucus, Wednesday, January 4 2012:

“President Obama is abdicating his oath and duty to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States by making an unconstitutional recess appointment of Richard Cordray to head the newly created CFPB. If it weren’t for his track record of trampling the Constitution to suit his political needs, I would say this announcement came as a surprise. Unfortunately, this is what we have come to expect from a president who brought Chicago-style politics to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

“Due to the unique characteristics of the CFPB, which would be funded through the Federal Reserve, insulated from congressional oversight, and negatively impact almost every facet of American business, Senate approval of the CFPB director is the last and only check Congress has over this unaccountable agency. This recess appointment is nothing more than an attempt to circumvent and undercut the advice and consent clause of the U.S. Constitution.”

Barrack Obama's response: "I refuse to take no for an answer." [even if it's the Constitution saying "NO!"]
