General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

Wallace v. United States No. 118 Petition for rehearing and motion to remand for further finding Decided April 10, 1922 258 U.S. 296
APPEAL FROM THE COURT OF CLAIMS
Syllabus
The Senate, in confirming nominations to office, exercises not a judicial, but an executive, function, and, if it confirms a nomination to a place in the Army existing only through the President’s removal of another officer, the legal effect is to sustain the removal no less where the nomination is taken as assurance that a vacancy exists than where the Senate investigates the facts. P. 298.
Petition for rehearing and motion to remand denied.
On a petition for rehearing and for a remand of the case to the Court of Claims for a further finding of fact. See s.c. 257 U.S. 541.
