   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Loken and Kobes, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Social Security. The district court erred in determining that

   when she ratified the appointment of the ALJ in claimant's case; the 
   Federal Vacancy Reform Act of 1998 authorizes an individual who has ceased 
   serving under Sec. 3346(a)(1) to begin serving again under Sec. 3346(a)(2) 
   once a nomination is sent to the Senate; a presidential order directing an 
   agency employee to serve in an acting capacity under 5 U.S.C. Sec. 
   3345(a)(3) carries forward to the next president as it falls within the 
   general rule that presidential orders without specific time limitations 
   carry over from administration to administration.
