Practice question
An elected President reassumes office after a period during which the Vice-President validly acted as President. On the sixtieth day after reassumption, the elected President invokes Section 14 to revoke an appointment validly extended during that acting period. Is the revocation within the special constitutional time window?
- No, because the window always ends thirty days after reassumption.
- No, because only assumption, never reassumption, starts a window.
- No, because Acting President appointments cannot be revoked under Section 14.
- Yes, because the sixtieth day falls within ninety days after reassumption.
- Yes, because Section 14 provides an unlimited window.
