| 5585 | 34 U.S.C. 634. | Mar. 3, 1899, ch. 413, §19, 30 Stat. 1008; Mar. 3, 1903, ch. 1010, 32 Stat. 1198 (1st proviso in 5th par., 48th word to end of proviso). |
The words "from other persons" are substituted for the words "from civil life" because 34 U.S.C. 1020e authorizes the appointment of graduates of the NROTC program as well as of other persons in civil life. Such graduates are, properly, persons in "civil life", since they are members of the Naval Reserve who are not on active duty. However, since the status of members of the NROTC is not always clear, the statement of the class is expanded.
AMENDMENTS1980—Pub. L. 96–513 substituted "active-duty list" for "active list".
EFFECTIVE DATE OF 1980 AMENDMENTAmendment by Pub. L. 96–513 effective Sept. 15, 1981, see section 701 of Pub. L. 96–513, set out as a note under section 101 of this title.
