Will Obama make a Recess appointment to fill the SC Vacancy?

[cinyc]

The term would end in January 2017 because that's when the new congress is seated rather than 2018.

There's an argument that the recess appointee's term could end sooner than that because all the Senate would have to do is vote to immediately declare a new session after they got back from recess, making the appointment void at that point.  I don't know if that argument holds water, but it has been surfacing around the Internet.
