The BOV makes an annual visit to West Point to evaluate the morale, discipline, curriculum, instruction, physical equipment, fiscal affairs, academic methods and other matters. The Speaker of the U.S. House has the authority to appoint nine members of Congress to serve annual terms. The president appoints five members to three-year terms.
