2014 Sup. Ct. Rev. 1 (2014)

handle is hein.journals/suprev2014 and id is 1 raw text is: CURTIS A. BRADLEY AND NEIL S. SIEGEL AFTER RECESS: HISTORICAL PRACTICE, TEXTUAL AMBIGUITY, AND CONSTITUTIONAL ADVERSE POSSESSION The Supreme Court's decision last Term in NLRB v Noel Canning contains an especially strong and sustained endorsement of the rel- evance of historical practice to discerning the Constitution's distri- bution of authority between Congress and the President.1 In inter- preting the scope of the Recess Appointments Clause,2 the Court gave significant attention to how governmental actors had under- stood and applied the clause throughout history. The Court did so, moreover, as part of a self-conscious approach to constitutional in- terpretation. When construing constitutional provisions regulating Curtis A. Bradley is the William Van Alstyne Professor of Law, Duke Law School, and Neil S. Siegel is the David W. Ichel Professor of Law, Duke Law School.
