Faux Recess Appointment

Bush may leave Paul Clement, current Solicitor General and another flack, in place for up to 210 days after 9/17. If he nominates some other flack, the clock starts again for Clement for another 210 days and so on. So he could effectively have Clement indefinitely, violating the spirit of the no recess appointments agreement he made with Harry Ried.
