2. How many votes does she need?
Simple majority? 2/3?

3. I thought recess appointments were only good until
the new Congress is seated. That would mean her appt was only good until January, 2011. Isn't that how we finally were rid of John Bolton? Is there someone who can confirm my reasoning or put me on the right track to understanding this?
