  • Appointment and Confirmation of Executive
    Appointment and Confirmation of Executive Branch Leadership: An Overview name redacted Specialist in American National Government name redacted Analyst in Government Organization and Management June 22, 2015 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov R44083 Appointment and Confirmation of Executive Branch Leadership: An Overview Summary The Constitution divides the responsibility for populating the top positions in the executive branch of the federal government between the President and the Senate. Article II, Section 2 empowers the President to nominate and, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to appoint the principal officers of the United States, as well as some subordinate officers. These positions are generally filled through the advice and consent process, which can be divided into three stages: • First, the White House selects and clears a prospective appointee before sending a formal nomination to the Senate. • Second, the Senate determines whether to confirm a nomination. For most nominations, much of this process occurs at the committee level. • Third, the confirmed nominee is given a commission and sworn into office, after which he or she has full authority to carry out the duties of the office. The President may also be able to fill vacancies in advice and consent positions in the executive branch temporarily through other means. If circumstances permit and conditions are met, the President could choose to give a recess appointment to an individual. Such an appointment would last until the end of the next session of the Senate. Alternatively, in some cases, the President may be able to designate an official to serve in a vacant position on a temporary basis under the Federal Vacancies Reform Act or under statutory authority specific to the position.

    Supreme Court Rejects ACA Challenge he Supreme Court rejected the latest challenge to the Affordable Care TAct (ACA) in a 7-2 ruling last week. The court held that the Republican- controlled states and two individuals who brought the lawsuit could not prove they were injured. Liberal Justice Stephen Breyer wrote the majority opinion, stating that the plaintiffs lacked legal standing to go to court. Justice Neil Gorsuch joined Justice Samuel Alito in the dissenting opinion, arguing that “no one can fail to be impressed by the lengths to which this court has been willing to go to defend the ACA against all threats.” House Dems Adopt Deeming Resolution emocrats in the House of Representatives have adopted a 302(a) topline Dspending level of $1.5 trillion for fiscal year (FY) 2022 spending. The deeming proposal (H.Res. 467) does not specify funding levels for defense and nondefense spending and does not influence Senate allocations. Senate Appropriations Committee Chair Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) stated that he hopes the Senate will begin marking up appropriations legislation in July.

  • Whether Section 564 of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act Prohibits Entities from Requiring the Use of a Vaccine Subject to an Emergency Use Authorization
    (Slip Opinion) Whether Section 564 of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act Prohibits Entities from Requiring the Use of a Vaccine Subject to an Emergency Use Authorization Section 564(e)(1)(A)(ii)(III) of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act concerns only the provision of information to potential vaccine recipients and does not prohibit public or private entities from imposing vaccination requirements for a vaccine that is subject to an emergency use authorization. July 6, 2021 MEMORANDUM OPINION FOR THE DEPUTY COUNSEL TO THE PRESIDENT Section 564 of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (“FDCA”), 21 U.S.C. § 360bbb-3,1 authorizes the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to issue an “emergency use authorization” (“EUA”) for a medical product, such as a vaccine, under certain emergency circumstances. This authoriza- tion permits the product to be introduced into interstate commerce and administered to individuals even when FDA has not approved the product for more general distribution pursuant to its standard review process. Section 564 directs FDA—“to the extent practicable” given the emergen- cy circumstances and “as the [agency] finds necessary or appropriate to protect the public health”—to impose “[a]ppropriate” conditions on each EUA. FDCA § 564(e)(1)(A). Some of these conditions are designed to ensure that recipients of the product “are informed” of certain things, including “the option to accept or refuse administration of the product.” Id. § 564(e)(1)(A)(ii)(III). Since December 2020, FDA has granted EUAs for three vaccines to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”). In each of these author- izations, FDA imposed the “option to accept or refuse” condition by requiring the distribution to potential vaccine recipients of a Fact Sheet that states: “It is your choice to receive or not receive [the vaccine].
