In October 2011, Ruemmler stated that there was no evidence to suggest that an intervention by the White House intervening in Solyndra’s loan guarantee in order to benefit a political donor. The letter she sent for members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee also denies an attempt to be made by the committee Republicans to gain the right to access inside White House communications. The letter also goes on to disprove Republican allegations of inappropriate White House influence in the Energy Department’s decision in 2009 to give the company an aid of $535 million and also the deal’s initial change in 2011 that placed private investors over taxpayers to repay if the company was liquidated.

Over what would have traditionally been the 2011-2012 winter recess of the 112th Congress, the House of Representatives did not assent to recess, specifically to block Richard Cordray’s appointment as Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. As a result, both the House and Senate held pro forma sessions. On January 4, 2012, President Obama claimed authority to appoint Richard Cordray and others under the Recess Appointments Clause. Counsel Ruemmler asserted that the appointments were valid, because the pro forma sessions were designed to, “through form, render a constitutional power of the executive obsolete,” and that the Senate was for all intents and purposes recessed. Republicans in the Senate disputed the appointments, with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell stating that Obama had “arrogantly circumvented the American people” and endangered “the Congress’s role in providing a check on the excesses of the executive branch.” It was expected that there would be a legal challenge to the appointments.
