More than 35,000 Americans have signed a petition protesting President Barack Obama’s recent recess appointments circulated by the American Center for Law and Justice, a conservative legal organization.

"This issue has struck a constitutional chord with the American people and a growing number of members of Congress,” ACLJ’s Chief Counsel Jay Sekulow said in a statement.

"The move by President Obama is unprecedented and unconstitutional.

We are calling on President Obama to abide by the Constitution and respect the separation of powers."
