- Every invalid appointment becomes valid through silence.
- Section 15 never applies to acting officials.
- Section 14’s continuing-effectiveness rule does not dispense with constitutional validity requirements for the original appointment.
- Only the paper’s color matters.
- No appointment can ever be reviewed after assumption.
