If a commission is dated 9/1/05 and the oath is filed on 09/25/2005, when will the commission expire?

09/01/2009
08/31/2009
09/25/2009
12/31/2009

The correct answer is: 08/31/2009

The commission will expire on the last day of the same month, four years after the date it was issued. This means that the commission in question, dated 9/1/05, will expire on 08/31/2009. Option A is incorrect because September 2009 is only four years after 09/01/05, not five years. Option C is incorrect because the date the oath was filed does not affect the expiration date of the commission. Option D is incorrect because December 2009 is more than four years after 09/01/05.
