    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 The Amendment was later repealed.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

    English: habitational name from any of various places called Chilton, for example in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, County Durham, Hampshire, Kent, Shropshire, Somerset, Suffolk, and Wiltshire. The majority are shown by early forms to derive from Old English cild ‘child’ (see Child ) + tūn ‘enclosure, settlement’. One place of this name in Somerset possibly gets its first element from Old English cealc ‘chalk, limestone’, and one on the Isle of Wight from the personal name Cēola (compare Chilcott ), or from Old English ceole ‘deep valley’.
