Practice question
An Acting President validly makes an ordinary executive appointment outside the appointment ban. The elected President assumes office and invokes Section 14 to revoke it on day seventy-five after assumption. The appointee argues that the election occurred more than ninety days earlier, so the window expired. Assuming all other requirements are met, which answer is correct?
- The election date always controls.
- The appointment became immune the moment ballots were counted.
- Only the appointee may choose the clock.
- The revocation is within ninety days measured from assumption, so the election-date objection fails.
- The special power starts only when the elected President leaves office.
