mr. francisco? >>i mr. chief justice and may it please the court, the advice and consent clause imposes an important check on executive power. each of our three arguments preserves that check and provides a separate and independent basis for affirming the court below. the government's position in contrast would eviscerate that check, creating a unilateral appointment power available for every vacancy at virtually anytime with advice and consent to be used only when convenient to the president. >> but your argument would destroy the recess clause. that would be under your argument it is totally within the hands of the senate to abolish any and all recess appointments. >> yes, your honor. and that reflects the fact that the recess appointment power is a contingent one. it arises only when the senate chooses to trigger it by ending its session and beginning its recess. so the senate always has the power to prevent recess appointments. the constitution, however, gives the president corresponding powers. if the

mr. francisco, can i ask a question about the second question presented, the "happens" question? >> yes, your honor. >> and if you put aside all the history and you look only at the language and you look only at our own modern view of what happens, that surely seems to favor your position. but if, you know, given all the statements in the founding period itself about how this is ambiguous and it might have two meanings, if you look at the dictionaries of that time -- so i went back and i looked at the oxford english dictionary, and one of the definitions of "happens" there is "chance to be," essentially the exact same definition that thomas jefferson said made this ambiguous. and we would never use "happens" in that way now. if you look at the examples that the oxford english gives they're laughable. nobody would ever say that now. but it just suggested to me that maybe what we think is pretty clear is only pretty clear because one meaning of "happens" has, you know, over 200 years -- >> sure. >> lapsed. >> well, your honor, i actually think the word "happens" had the same meanin

francisco. >> commissioners when mr. ritchie talks about water, we have to agree with him because water is trying to tell us is how water is preserved in some of our [inaudible] areas and how it's delivered. we need to look at it also from the point of view of the data which i have mentioned here many times. for example, if you have a thousand, two hundred miles of clean water in our city, we need real time knowledge of the leakage. real time. why? because we need to know that if our pipes are 85 years old and leaking, how many of them have been replaced? and over the years, say five years, ten years, how many billions of gallons of water have been wasted. why is this? the water that we have from [inaudible] which are the constituents of san francisco have to know, belong to the first people. and for thousands of years, they preserved it. so 300 years ago when the council made to come to california and do this and that and the other thing, we found that here in san francisco we had no water. so that's why i gave you comm
