25 U.S.C. § 64 — Services of agents dispensed with

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice
The President must get rid of Indian agents and superintendents wherever it's practical to do so. Where it's practical, one person must handle the duties of two agencies or superintendencies for a single salary.
This section directs the President to reduce the number of Indian agent and superintendent positions. It is the President's duty to dispense with the services of such Indian agents and superintendents as may be practicable — meaning wherever cutting a position is reasonably possible.
Where it is practicable, the section goes further: the President must require the same person to perform the duties of two agencies or superintendencies, but for only one salary.
