Term of a Member of the Mississippi River Commission

The term of a member of the Mississippi River Commission is set by the statute governing his office, and the term dictated by the statute applies even though the language used in his nomination, confirmation, and commission calls for a different term. The OLC does not provide release dates for its opinions, so the release date listed is the date on which the opinion was authored. The original opinion is available at www.justice.gov/file/19521/download.
