128: Status of delegations

You could also call this:

"What happens to jobs given to others by the chief executive"

You know how the chief executive can give some of their jobs to other people. This is called a delegation. The delegation keeps going until it is officially stopped. When the chief executive wants to stop a delegation, they must do it in writing. If a chief executive is no longer in their job, the delegations they made still work as if the new chief executive made them. The chief executive can still do the jobs they delegated to others. The chief executive is still responsible for what the delegated people do, even if they gave them the job. You can compare this to the cl 9 from 2000.
