Tangential, but I was looking into this yesterday and couldn't find the answer:
How does her term work?
Seats on the FTC are supposed to last for 7 years. She was nominated in 2021 and her term technically expired a couple months ago. Apparently she gets to remain in it until a replacement is appointed.
Has she just been filling in the remainder of someone else's term, like Laphonza Butler as CA Senator?
- zerocrates 2y agoFTC terms work like that, a replacement for a commissioner who leaves mid-term only gets the time remaining on the original appointment, not a new full 7 years. But they also can hang on past the nominal end date until a successor is actually confirmed. The prior chairman, Joseph Simons, had this same seat that Khan has now, so for him his term was also nominally set to expire September 2024. He resigned when the administration changed over in 2021.
