oauss and necessity of removal. The validi-
ty or legality of the appointment of the Off
Ger appointed to fill such vacancy could not
be inquired into by going back to inquire for
what cause his predecessor was removed. In
the exhaustive discussions which this subject
received from the eminent statesmen OF the
early days of the government, ii was never
suggested but that the president was the on
ly judge of the cause of removal. if he pos
sessed the power in any case. This amend
ment virtually breaches a wholly new doc
trine. 1t comedies the power of removal by
the president, but assumes that we may 20
back behind that, and inquire into the rea-
sons, for the purpose of determining whether
the new appoiLtee shall have pay. 1t is Ger
tsiIly an anomaly that a man may legally fill
and perform the duties of an Office, but his
right to compensation shall depend upon the
reasons that influenced the appointing power
in making the appointment.
The last contest on this subject of the pres
ident's power of removal was during Presi-
dent Jackson's administration, and the great
whig leaders of that day made powerful ef-
fort to bring the government back to what
they claimed was the true construction of the
constitution, and deny the president the pow
or of removal. But they did not succeed and
all parties have acted without question since
upon the other theory. But it seems not to
have occurred to those eminent statesmen,
that though the president could legally re-
move officers and fill them with other persons,
that theyssoould make il q barren honor by
depriving the holders of all compcnsation--
