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 The Amendment was later repealed.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 Bunwell in Norfolk. The placename is from Old English bune ‘reed’ + wella ‘spring, stream’. Old forms of the surname suggest a second, non-habitational source.
(of Norman origin): possibly from French Bunel, a shortened form of Busonal, a nickname derived from buson ‘buzzard’ used for someone considered simple, silly.
