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 The Amendment was later repealed.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

English (Jersey and Yorkshire): of Norman origin, a variant of Neal 1 and 2.

French (Néel; Normandy): from the Old French personal name Neel, derived either from the Latin name Nigellus (a diminutive of Latin niger ‘black’; compare 3 below), or from the Old Norse name Njáll (see Neal 1), hence a cognate of 1 above. Compare Nel 1.

French: from Old French nëel ‘black email’ (from Latin nigellus ‘black’), hence a metonymic occupational name for a jeweler.
