Sec. 579. Removal from a promotion list

    (a) The name of a warrant officer recommended for promotion by a 
selection board convened under this chapter may be removed from the 
report of the selection board by the President.
    (b) The Secretary concerned may remove the name of a warrant officer 
who is on a promotion list as a result of being recommended for 
promotion by a selection board convened under this chapter at any time 
before the promotion is effective.
    (c) An officer whose name is removed from the list of officers 
recommended for promotion by a selection board continues to be eligible 
for consideration for promotion.
    (d) If the next selection board that considers the warrant officer 
for promotion under this chapter selects the warrant officer for 
promotion and the warrant officer is promoted, the Secretary concerned 
may, upon his promotion, grant him the same effective date for pay and 
allowances and the same date of rank, and the same position on the 
warrant officer active-duty list as the warrant officer would have had 
if his name had not been so removed.
    (e) If the next selection board does not select the warrant officer 
for promotion, or if his name is again removed under subsection (a) from 
the list of officers recommended for promotion by the selection board or 
under subsection (b) from the warrant officer promotion list, he shall 
be treated for all purposes as if he has twice failed of selection for 
promotion.
