The law is but a shadow OF the iron clad
act by which the Republicans
of 1867 held in check President
Johnson. As it then stood it Tor
babe removals from office during he ses-
sion Of the senate except with the advice
and consent of hat body, During the re-
cess OF the senate the president was allowed
to make no removals at all, but might
suspend an officer on satisfactory ev idence
of miscondu ct in Office, crime or
4 ~incapacity until the next meeting OF the
\ senate. when Grant became president the
house OF representatives, being overwhelm.
ingly Republican, voted TO repeal the law,

only to a modification oft. Thelaw as then
amended gives the president unlimited pow
er OF suspension during the recess OF
the senate until the end OF the next session
OF the senate. Should the senate refuse to
approve the suspension the discarded OF
ficer would be restored to his place on the

him this restriction is futile, and Tor all prac-
teal purposes the suspension OF an Official
