Removal of Presidentially Appointed Regents of the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences

There is no statutory limitation on the President's power to remove his appointees to the Board of Regents of the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, and any such limitation would in any event be unconstitutional in light of the purely executive functions performed by these individuals. The OLC does not provide release dates for its opinions, so the release date listed is the date on which the opinion was authored.
