Historical and Revision Notes
DerivationU.S. CodeRevised Statutes and

Statutes at Large
5 U.S.C. 50 (1st sentence; and 2d sentence, so much as relates to removal). Aug. 5, 1882, ch. 389, §4 (297th through 316th words), 22 Stat. 255 .

Aug. 23, 1912, ch. 350, §5 (so much as relates to removal), 37 Stat. 414 .

In the last sentence, the word "removed" is substituted for "summarily removed" because of the provisions of the Lloyd-LaFollette Act 37 Stat. 555, as amended, and the Veterans' Preference Act of 1944, 58 Stat. 387, as amended, which are carried into this title.

Standard changes are made to conform with the definitions applicable and the style of this title as outlined in the preface to the report.
