Practice question
A former CSC Commissioner completed a valid full seven-year term. The President proposes another seven-year CSC appointment, arguing that confirmation by the Commission on Appointments can waive the no-reappointment clause. All personal qualifications are assumed. Which answer follows Article IX-B, Section 1?
- Confirmation can erase every constitutional term restriction.
- The new appointment conflicts with the no-reappointment rule; consent does not amend that limitation.
- The earlier seven-year term is automatically reclassified as a private internship.
- Every completed constitutional term creates a right to a second term.
- The restriction applies only to the Commission’s employees, never Members.
