If there are kids who are triple qualified in a district where all the Members slots are filled, if there is a Member who has extra slots they will sometimes work a deal where they use an unused slot from that Member.

<p>Never heard that one -- although it could be true. I would think, however, this could create problems when it's time to "return the favor," to to speak. And, I think it would create havoc in recordkeeping. Still, this is the Congress and they make the rules.</p>
<p>It can be the case, of course, that more than one of an MOC's noms receives an appointment. Thus, assume the MOC nominates 10 candidates for his one vacancy. One of those individuals will be slotted against that MOC. The other go into the infamous "pool." Some of those remaining 9 may be offered an appointment. However, they are slotted against SecNav, the Supe or some other source and not against the MOC. </p>
<p>I would be very surprised if certain MOCs got more slots than 5 at one time b/c the number is based on the law. But, as noted, maybe not impossible.</p>
