appointable
Able to designate
Appointable describes someone or something eligible to be appointed—capable of being selected for a position, role, or office.
The term appears most often in bureaucratic or legal contexts: Several qualified candidates are appointable to the board.
An appointable position is one filled by appointment rather than election.
