Repealed at last removing Tenure of Office act
The Senate passage of a bill repealing the Tenure of Office Act ends a nearly twenty year constitutional clash. It had shifted removal power from the President to the Senate, a move used by Senate factions to curb executive authority. Johnson's impeachment followed, tied to removals and resignations, and Grant’s era saw renewed attempts to repeal. The 1869 amendment allowed suspensions during recess and interim appointments, inviting future shifts in civil service. The reform, though contested, is hailed as a return toward constitutional governance after war-era excesses.
