They would be in recess for hours at most. The Supreme Court has ruled that appointments can only be made if the Recess is at least three days in length.

Ten days, actually.  Which hilariously enough, Scalia vehemently disagreed with.

'“The Court’s decision transforms the recess-appointment power from a tool carefully designed to fill a narrow and specific need into a weapon to be wielded by future Presidents against future Senates,” Scalia warned.'
