**(a) Permanent or temporary promotions; examination** Promotions of officers of the Regular Corps to any grade up to and including the director grade shall be either permanent promotions based on length of service, other permanent promotions to fill vacancies, or temporary promotions. Permanent promotions shall be made by the President, and temporary promotions shall be made by the President. Each permanent promotion shall be to the next higher grade, and shall be made only after examination given in accordance with regulations of the President.
**(b) Promotion to certain grades only to fill vacancies; regulations; “restricted grade” defined** The President may by regulation provide that in a specified professional category permanent promotions to the senior grade, or to both the full grade and the senior grade, shall be made only if there are vacancies in such grade. A grade in any category with respect to which such regulations have been issued is referred to in this section as a “restricted grade”.
**(c) Examinations** Examinations to determine qualification for permanent promotions may be either noncompetitive or competitive, as the Surgeon General shall in each case determine; except that examinations for promotions to the assistant or senior assistant grade shall in all cases be noncompetitive. The officers to be examined shall be selected by the Surgeon General from the professional category, and in the order of seniority in the grade, from which promotion is to be recommended.

Stat. 22.
All but the quoted language in R.S. § 1757 is omitted
as obsolete since R.S. § 1757 was originally an alter-
native oath to the oath prescribed in R.S. § 1756 which
oath was repealed by the Act of May 13, 1884, ch. 46, § 2,
23 Stat. 22. The words ‘‘An individual, except the Presi-
dent, . . . in the civil service or uniformed services’’ are
substituted for ‘‘any person . . . either in the civil, mili-
tary, or naval service, except the President of the
United States’’. The second sentence of former section
16 is changed to read, ‘‘This section does not affect
other oaths required by law.’’.
Standard changes are made to conform with the defi-
nitions applicable and the style of this title as outlined
in the preface to the report.
