The ruling asserts constitutional appointment power resides with the President and Senate, potentially advancing Majors in the Quartermaster Corps over Major Ray despite seniority. The decision, requested by President Wilson, could affect officers from colonels to lieutenants and upend the 1890 act's seniority framework.
