About this listen
The Supreme Court held that members of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force are inferior officers whose appointment by the Secretary of Health and Human Services is consistent with the Appointments Clause. The Court found that Task Force members are subject to the Secretary's supervision and direction through the Secretary's authority to remove them at will and to review and block their recommendations before they take effect. The Court also determined that Congress properly vested appointment authority in the Secretary through two statutes: the 1999 law giving the AHRQ Director power to "convene" the Task Force (which includes appointment power) and Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1966 (ratified by Congress in 1984), which transfers the Director's functions to the Secretary.
