Practice question
A statute vests a particular administrative function in the President, but the function is not expressly listed in the preceding sections of EO 292. No law removes it. Does omission from that list alone extinguish the function?
- Yes, all presidential functions must appear in one list.
- No; Section 20 recognizes other functions vested in the President under law, subject to its terms.
- Yes, unless every Senator personally consents.
- Yes, unless a court performs the function first.
- No; therefore every function the President desires is also authorized.
