Temporary Officers
2019] 753 TEMPORARY OFFICERS James A. Heilpern* INTRODUCTION In Lucia v. Securities and Exchange Commission,1 the Supreme Court held that an administrative law judge in the Securities and Exchange Com- mission (“SEC”) qualifies as an “Officer of the United States” under the Ap- pointments Clause of the Constitution.2 The Appointments Clause estab- lishes as a default rule that all “Officers of the United States” are to be nom- inated by the President “by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate.”3 There are only two exceptions to this rule: (1) Officers “whose Appointments are . otherwise provided for” in the Constitution, such as the President, Vice President, and Congressional Officers;4 and (2) “inferior Officers” if— and only if—Congress has affirmatively “vest[ed]” their appointment “in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.”5 Alt- hough Congress had specifically authorized the Commission—the head of the SEC—to appoint administrative law judges (“ALJs”),6 all parties to the case agreed that the ALJs in question were actually selected by “[o]ther staff members, rather than the Commission proper.”7 As such, the “sole question [for the Court to decide was] whether the [SEC]’s ALJs are ‘Officers of the United States’ or simply employees of the Federal Government.”8 * James A. Heilpern (J.D. 2015) is a Research Fellow at the J. Reuben Clark Law School at Brigham Young University. He would like to express gratitude to the C. Boyden Gray Center for the Study of the Administrative State at the Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University and the George Mason Law Review for the generous stipend and feedback. -

Rex Lee was the best Solicitor General this nation has ever had, and he is the best lawyer this Justice ever heard plead a case in this Court. -
Pakistan's Progress
39 Pakistan's Progress By Guy Mountfort In the short space of twelve months Pakistan has laid wide-ranging plans for conserving her wildlife, hitherto completely neglected. On the recommenda- tion of two World Wildlife Fund expeditions, led by Guy Mountfort, an international WWF trustee, two national parks and several reserves are being created which should give Pakistan a last chance to save the tiger, the snow leopard and several other seriously threatened mammals and birds. NTIL very recently wildlife conservation in Pakistan was non- U existent; today the situation is extremely encouraging. Under the direction of President Ayub Khan, most of the recommendations in the report of the 1967 World Wildlife Fund expedition have already been implemented, and a number of the proposed new wildlife reserves are now in being. A wildlife committee (in effect a Government Commission) has been set up under the distinguished chairmanship of Mr. M. M. Ahmad, Deputy Chairman of the Central Government Planning Commission, to create a permanent administrative framework for the conservation and management of wildlife and habitats, and two sub-committees are studying technical, educational, legal and administrative requirements. After submitting detailed reports and recommendations to the President in the spring of 1970, the committee will be replaced by a permanent wildlife advisory body to co-ordinate future planning. Responsibility for the management of wildlife resources has been given to the Department of Forests. Forest Officers are to be given special train- ing in wildlife ecology and management, and the first trainees have just completed courses in the United States. Meanwhile, a post-graduate curriculum in wildlife management is in preparation at the Forest Institute at Peshawar, to which Major Ian Grimwood has been seconded by FAO. -
