For example, does the authority extend further than making technical corrections of innocent errors such as misspellings, minor/harmless errors of date, time and location? � If the Mayor has inherent executive authority to alter or amend such acts, does that authority apply only to commissions that serve at the pleasure of the Mayor? -- Or also to those appointed by the Mayor for a term? Does that authority apply to commissions whose appointees are confirmed by a legislative body? Does that authority extend to commissions whose appointments are shared between the executive and legislative branches? � If the Mayor has inherent executive authority to alter or amend such acts of commissions whose appointments are either shared or confirmed by the legislative branches, does that authority extend to a commission's acts that have been confirmed, approved, altered or amended or overturned by the judicial
