General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

APPEAL FROM THE COURT OF CLAMS

Held:

(2) That the power of appointment and removal in the case was constitutionally lodged in the Secretary of the Treasury; the President’s order could not and was not intended to operate as a reinstatement, but merely restored E’s eligibility to appointment. P. 84.
(3) E had no claim to the salary between the dates of his removal and his reinstatement by the Secretary.
53 Ct.Clms. 466 affirmed.
Appeal from a judgment of the Court of Claims in an action to recover salary accruing between the dates of appellant’s removal from an office and his reinstatement. See also ante,71, 77.
