INDEX OF CONTENTS. 



simple, 242 ; why attach these propositions to appropri- 

 ation bills ? 242 ; the debate of 1789, 248 ; the power of 

 removals, how exercised heretofore, 243. 



Amendment modified, 243 ; the question Is, whether 

 under the Constitution the President has the power to 

 remove officers without the consent of the Senate, 243 ; 

 no member of the Congress of 1789 ever suggested that 

 the President could be compelled to keep around him 

 any Cabinet officer whom he desired to displace, 244 ; 

 what would be the condition of the country without the 

 power of removal? 244; conduct of the President, 244; 

 we have no right to require the President, in case of re- 

 movals, to give his reasons, 244 ; payment to appointees 

 during recess might be deferred, 245 ; this proposition is 

 whether a hundred millions of money shall be placed in 

 the hands of the President and always kept there, 245; 

 the power of removals has been the settled doctrine since 

 1789, 215 ; a change in the construction of the Constitu- 

 tion not to be sanctioned, 245 ; amendment adopted, 246 ; 

 bill passed, 246 ; vote reconsidered, 246 ; scope and mean- 

 Ing of the amendment, 246 ; class of cases which it Is de- 

 signed to reach, 246; if we believe the President has not 

 the legal and constitutional power of removal, why not 

 say so ? 246 ; if the design is to deprive the President of 

 the power of removal, why not say so ? 247 ; what is the 

 real purpose and object of this amendment ? 247 ; a differ- 

 ence between the President and Congress, 247 ; neither 

 shows a disposition to yield, 247; the amendment will 

 prevent the President from making changes in office for 

 political causes, 248 ; the whole thing is founded in a 

 mistaken lack of faith in the people, 248 ; no relianco 

 can be placed now on the experience of former days, 

 248; the people anxious to have the Union restored, 

 2-18 ; the Union masses stand firmly with,. Congress, 249 ; 

 this power of the President denied in tho army and 

 navy, 249 ; Congress may authorize the President to ap- 

 point and remove inferior officers without the advice 

 and consent of the Senate, 250; we ought to meet at the 

 outset every effort to attach these political problems to 

 an appropriation bill, 250 ; in the case provided for by 

 this amendment there is no denial of the power of re- 

 moval, but a denial of the right of the officer to receive 

 his money, 250; effect of the amendment, 250; the 

 amendment does not accomplish the purpose it has in 

 view, 251 ; motion to reconsider agreed to, 251 ; amend- 

 ment rejected, 252.
