The Constitution gives the President the power of appointment, but nominations must be approved by the Senate. It also gives the President the power to remove any officer he appointed without Senate approval, except federal judges. This topic was discussed greatly in the First Congress. Many argued that if Senate approval was required for appointment, it should also be required for removal. Explain whether you think Senate approval should or should not be required when the President exercises the removal power. Support your idea with at least one reason.
