Most-quoted passages

These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 41 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  2. “The “term” is the fixed period of time the appointee is authorized to serve in office. It is a period that is established by law and specified by the executive in his or her letters of appointment. The “tenure” is the time the appointee actually serves in office. Depending upon the circumstances the tenure can be shorter or longer than the term.”
