"Democrats called for an investigation yesterday into whether President Bush acted illegally in appointing Sam Fox ambassador to Belgium. A day earlier, Bush named Fox, a Republican fund-raiser, to the post as a recess appointment -- a maneuver that allowed him to bypass Congress, where Democrats had derailed his nomination. Senators Christopher J. Dodd of Connecticut, John F. Kerry of Massachusetts, and Robert Casey of Pennsylvania, all Democrats, wrote a letter to the Government Accountability Office calling the appointment a 'clear abuse' of power."Congratulations Senators. I'll be following this very closely.
