Practice question
A law expressly grants 365 days rather than one year. No different rule applies. May a party replace that explicit fixed-day unit solely with EO292's general definition of year?
- Yes; every 365-day period must become an unspecified calendar year.
- Yes; all express numbers are irrelevant.
- No; because 365 days means 365 months.
- Yes; leap years repeal explicit statutory wording.
- No; the expressly specified fixed-day period must be distinguished from a period stated in years.
