One More Quibble Over Hank Court Breidenthals
A question arises whether Hank Breidenthal’s term as bank commissioner began with Charles F B Johnson’s appointment, potentially requiring ouster by court and a writ of error. If Johnson’s de facto tenure affected the term length, Breidenthal’s term could end earlier than two years from the appointment. The Senate’s failure to confirm Johnson is cited as not altering the four-year term. Local firms and stores are referenced in the surrounding text.
