President Barack Obama’s recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau have been a source of conflict since the very day he made them. But now, months later, it appears we’re nearing some form of resolution. Reports indicate the White House and Senate have struck a deal to avert what Senate Republicans have called the “nuclear option” for avoiding a vote on Obama’s appointees to the NLRB, CFPB and other positions. Joining me to explain the deal and its impact is Kyle Gilster, Partner with Husch Blackwell in Washington, DC.
