Tenure Of Office Act Pros And Cons

Therefore, Congress’ intent of the Federal Commission Act was to limit the executive power of removal to the causes Congress provided. The president argued Myers gave him the exclusive power of removing executive officers he appointed by and with the consent of the Senate, but the Court argued the position of a postmaster was too unlike the commissioner’s position because a postmaster was an executive official whereas the commissioners dealt with legislative policies.

The only exception to this would be for high-ranking Confederate generals who owned property that exceeded over $20,000 were required to apply for Presidential pardons.

Both Roth and Sinderman were professors at institutions of higher education who spoke out in regards to their dissatisfaction with their institutions and in return, their contracts were not renewed for their positions.
