inserting in lieu thereof, the word ``five'' and by inserting
the word ``legal'' before the word ``training''.
(2) In subsection (b) by striking all after the words
``except that'' and inserting in lieu thereof: ``the President
may extend the term of a member for no more than 365
consecutive days to allow a continuation in service at the
pleasure of the President after the expiration of that member's
term until a successor nominated by the President has been
confirmed to serve. Any vacancy caused by the death,
resignation, or removal of a member before the expiration of a
term, for which he or she was appointed shall be filled only
for the remainder of such expired term. A member of the
