(AHN) - Three Democratic senators wrote a letter to the Government Accountability Office Thursday calling for an investigation of whether President Bush's Wednesday appointment of Sam Fox as U.S. ambassador to Belgium was legal. Bush bypassed Congress and gave Fox the position without confirmation from the Senate, angering Democrats who were strongly against his nomination.Bush used his power to make recess appointments and gave Fox the job while lawmakers were on a one-break. Recess appointments are generally made if Congress is out for a long time, such as a month-long summer vacation.
