inherent power

Read a random definition: depreciation method

A quick definition of inherent power:

Inherent power is the ability to do something because of your position or status. It can be a legal right to change a relationship or control someone else's actions. It can also be a power given to an agent to act on behalf of someone else. Inherent power can be necessary to carry out an express power or purpose. It is different from other types of power, like discretionary power, which is based on a person's judgment. Inherent power can also refer to physical or moral force, or a nation's military strength.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Inherent power refers to a power that comes naturally from a person's position or status. It is the legal right or authorization to act or not act, and the ability to change legal relationships.

Examples: An example of inherent power is the power of a judge to control the proceedings in their courtroom. Another example is the power of the President of the United States to issue executive orders. These powers come naturally from their positions and are not specifically granted by law.

Explanation: Inherent power is a power that is not specifically granted by law but is necessary for a person to carry out their duties. It is a power that comes naturally from a person's position or status. The examples illustrate how judges and the President of the United States have inherent power that allows them to carry out their duties effectively.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)
