Tennessee Senator Lamar Alexander recently opined that President Obama's recess appointees -- Members Griffin and Block -- should resign in the wake of the D.C. Circuit's January 25, 2013 Noel Canning decision: According to the Senator:

"As ranking member of the Senate committee with jurisdiction over the NLRB, I am calling on Sharon Block and Richard F. Griffin Jr. to resign immediately. The court’s decision means that none of the 219 decisions in which they have participated is valid — and no decision they make in the future will be valid.

In slipping through these so-called 'recess' appointments, the president’s administration attempted to skirt a constitutionally required step: seeking 'the advice and consent of the Senate' for executive and judicial nominations as outlined in Article 2, Section 2, of the Constitution."
