TITLE 10—ARMED FORCES
§ 7281
President has inherent authority to issue regulations
appropriate to exercising his functions. The words ‘‘but
not in the name of Congress’’ are omitted as surplus-
age, since a medal is presented in the name of Congress
only if the law so directs. The word ‘‘award’’ is sub-
stituted for the word ‘‘present’’ to cover the determina-
tion of the recipients as well as the actual presentation
of the medal. The words ‘‘since the 6th day of April,
1917, has distinguished, or who, after July 2, 1926’’ and
10:1429 (proviso of 1st sentence) are omitted as exe-
cuted.
