Who actually appoints a candidate to the Naval Academy? I've always thought the Superintendant, but I occassionally see people say the president, Board of Visitors, and others.
I looked up the documents from my appointment in 1981: The Superintendent of USNA offered the appointment to me. The actual appointment certificate says that the President appointed me. SecNav John Lehman signed the appointment certificate, "By the President." I suspect the authority levels have not changed.
