Does the stop time rule apply to an alien's period of continuous physical presence?

Finally, under the stop-time rule, an alien's period of continuous physical presence ends upon the service of a OSC or upon the commission of certain offenses, "whichever is earliest." INA S 240A(d)(1). Allowing the seven-year clock to restart post-OSC would render the "whichever is earliest"clause superfluous. See Moskal v. United States , 498 U.S. 103, 109-10 (1990) ("a court should give effect, if possible, to every clause and word of a statute" (internal quotation marks omitted)).
