| reply to RARPSL Re: Though delayed, reform is still needed
said by RARPSL :said by TKJunkMail :Four Commissioners provided the Chairman bi-partisan, constructive and substantive suggestions, and stated that notice and comment should be sought on the proposals, with an understanding that we would all be prepared to vote on December 18. How many of those 4 are "Lame Ducks"? IOW: How many of them will still have their jobs after the new administration takes over (no matter which candidate wins Tuesday) and how many must be reappointed/reconfirmed by the new President. I know Martin's tenure is at risk but what about the others (ie: Do they have set terms or do they serve only at the will of the President?). They all have set terms, including Martin. He can be deposed as the Chairman, but not as a member of the FCC. I believe 2 of the 5 are on expired terms and are awaiting reconfirmation for a new term or until a replacement is named.
That being said, it is assumed that Martin would resign the FCC if he was replaced as chairman - which is likely. -- My BLOG .. .. Internet News .. .. My Web Page Ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya punk? |
