You don’t have to be a lawyer to read the previous paragraph. It’s a section about appointing officers to executive agencies.
“[H]e shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for[…]” OK, but what if the Senate isn’t in session and we really need an Ambassador to Giratina? “Oh, ok, well in that case, The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.” They’re called recess appointments.
Even if that weren’t the case, the fact that this power is limited to “Officers […] whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for” means that senators aren’t included, because their appointment is provided for in Article 1, Section 3 and in the 17th Amendment.
