Power of the President to Remove Presidential Appointees From the Nat'l Capital Plan. Comm'n (OLC 1982). “The very language of the Home Rule Act defines the Commission as the central federal planning agency for the federal government in the Nation’s Capital (§ 203(a)(1), 40 U.S.C. § 7 la(a)(l)). The use of the term “ Federal” was no drafting accident.”
