Practice question
On day ninety-five after reassuming office, the elected President relies solely on Section 14 to revoke an Acting President’s valid executive appointment. Officials identify no other authority and argue that an announcement on day eighty that revocation might be considered preserved the power indefinitely. No actual revocation occurred before day ninety-five. Which is best?
- A possible future intention is necessarily a completed revocation.
- Section 14 requires revocation within ninety days; the earlier contemplation does not make the stipulated day-ninety-five act timely.
- The ninety-day period has no legal effect.
- Every appointment becomes permanently irremovable after ninety days under all laws.
- Only a campaign speech can revoke an appointment.
