The National Labor Relations Board will be poring over more than 400 decisions, from 2012 and 2013, in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's unanimous June 26 ruling that President Obama exceeded his authority in naming three members to the board during a three-day break between Senate sessions.
But the court's unanimity about that judgment veils a split. Five justices signed on to the majority opinion. The other four concurred that Obama overstepped his powers but said the majority should have gone much further in limiting presidential authority.
