This Act was to restrict the power of the President removing certain office holders without approval of the Senate. It denies the President the power to remove any executive officer who had been appointed by the president with the advice and consent of the Senate, unless the Senate approved the removal during the next full session of Congress. The Amendment was later repealed.
Name Meaning
Some characteristic forenames: Jewish Hyman, Meyer, Chaim, Emanuel, Isadore, Myer, Moshe, Yael, Dov, Ari.
Jewish (Ashkenazic): from the Hebrew personal name Reuven, Biblical Reuben, interpreted in Genesis 29:32 as reu ‘behold’ + ben ‘son’. This Biblical name influenced the selection of Ashkenazic surnames, such as Rubinfeld , that are ostensibly derived from the German, Yiddish, Polish, Ukrainian, and Russian vocabulary word rubin ‘ruby’ (see 2 below). See also 5 below.
German, French, Slovenian, and Croatian; Czech and Slovak (Rubín): from Middle High German rubn, Old French rubi, Slovenian and Croatian rubin, Czech and Slovak rubín ‘ruby’ (all ultimately from Late Latin rubinus lapis, a derivative of rubeus ‘red’), probably used as a metonymic occupational name for a jeweler.
