Abstract

Article 2, Paragraph one of one, Section II, of Decree Nº. 12.375/2025, by stipulating that the commissioning certificates of temporary officers of the Armed Forces are valid solely “while they remain on active duty”, is simultaneously unconstitutional, as it exceeds the boundaries of regulatory authority (cf. Article 84, IV, of the Federal Constitution) and conflicts with the provisions of Articles 142, § 3, I, VI, and VII, of the Federal Constitution. Furthermore, it is unlawful, as it contravenes Article 19, caput and §§ 1 and 2, of Law Nº. 5.821/1972, as well as Article 16, caput and § 1, of Law Nº. 6.880/1980.
