The Odd clauses: Understanding the constitution through ten of its most curious provisions

Author Jay wexler relates the current events of the nation like health bill reform to explain the workings of the constitution to the readers. To clarify the clauses that he has chosen, he provides examples from the present members of the congress, grounding the material in our times and still making us see the origins of them in history and when the constitution was made.
Recently to understand Environmental law for 'Wild Law' book, I began to listen to a UCB lecture. The professor said that agencies make environmental laws. When the author questioned if its constitutional that these agencies like EPA and others make laws, it pulled me into the book with so much relevance.
When I read of 'vaccine court' in Kim stagliano's 'All I can handle', I was piqued enough to find out about it but not enough about its 'office of the Special masters'. Wexler not only explains who 'special masters' are but when they are needed. He uses a modular approach so that related sections dont become too long and are an interesting read in themselves.
I found the later part of 'Recess-Appointments' clause bit too wordy.
