Donald Trump v. Anderson : "Not herein otherwise provided for" is a null set.
Aaron Carroll : Constitution says there are not " Officers of the United States " who are not provided for elsewhere.
Carroll: The Constitution is telling us that all of the " Officers " are provided for in Article II , Section 2.
He says the drafting history of the Appointments Clause is complex, but it is consistent with his approach.
Aaron Carroll : The Appointments Clause was revised after September 4, 1787 .
Carroll: It appears that with this revision, the phrase "officers of the U.S. " was added.
He says a comma was added between "all other officers" and "whose appointments are not otherwise provided for" Carroll: Clause [c] tells us these positions must be appointed pursuant to Article II , Section 2 procedures.
Ultimately, we think that drafting history leans towards our position. But even if we were wrong about that history, it is the final, printed Constitution that was sent to the States for ratification, which is "our" law, not the prior drafts..
