revoked by the elected President within 90 days from his assumption or reassumption of
office
Section 15: Two months immediately before the next presidential elections and up to the
end of his term, a President or Acting President shall not make appointments, except
temporary appointments to executive positions when continued vacancies therein will
prejudice public service or endanger public safety.
1) Since the power to appoint is executive in nature, Congress cannot usurp this function.
2) While Congress (and the Constitution in certain cases) may prescribe the qualifications for
particular offices, the determination of who among those who are qualified will be appointed is
the Presidents prerogative.
Procedure:
1) CA confirmation needed:
a) Nomination by President
b) Confirmation by CA
d) Acceptance by appointee.
Note: At any time before all four steps have been complied with, the President can withdraw the
nomination/appointment.
2) No CA confirmation:
a) Appointment; and
b) Acceptance.
Note: Once appointee accepts, President can no longer withdraw the appointment.
Ad-interim appointments:
1) When Congress is in recess, the President may still appoint officers to positions subject to
CA confirmation.
2) These appointments are effective immediately, but are only effective until they are
disapproved by the CA or until the next adjournment of Congress.
3) Appointments to fill an office in an acting capacity are NOT ad-interim in nature and need
no CA approval.
