Market Watch reports that President Bush has resolved a dispute over the re-nominations of John Palmer and Thomas Saving to the Social Security Board of Trustees by issuing a recess appointment to each. The Senate had balked at confirming the two because of a tradition that trustees serve only one term. The recess appointment allows the two to serve until the end of the current Congress. The nomination delay had prevented the Board of Trustees from issuing routine reports.
