1867 · Sorry Mr. President, You can't do that.

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 The Amendment was later repealed.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: French Andre, Antoine, Cecile, Chantal, Chantale, Damien, Donat, Franck, Ghislaine, Jacques, Jean Claude, Jean Francois.

French, English, and Scottish: from the Old French personal name Brice, probably Celtic (Gaulish) in origin but not firmly explained (Latinized as Bri(c)tius, Bric(c)ius, or Brixius), which was borne by a 5th-century Christian saint who succeeded Saint Martin as bishop of Tours. Consequently, it became a popular personal name in France and Germany in the early Middle Ages. It was imported to England and Scotland by the Normans. Compare German Brixius .
