United States, 272 U.S. At issue in Myers was a statute providing that certain postmasters could be removed only "by and with the advice and consent of the Senate." The President removed one such Postmaster without Senate approval, and a lawsuit ensued.
United States, 272 U.S. (1926), in its challenge to the provision requiring Senate approval of the removal of a postmaster, the Federal Government assumed that Congress had power to limit the terms of removal to reasons that relate to the office.
United States, 357 U.S. In an earlier day, in which simpler notions of the role of government in society prevailed, it was perhaps plausible to insist that all "executive" officers be subject to an unqualified Presidential removal power, see Myers v.

 Froomkin: In Defense of Administrative Agency Autonomy
Although the executive might have to obey when the Comptroller increased the 90-day stay period (in some cases the head of a procuring agency can override a stay with an appropriate certification) the court found that the interference with the executive would be de minimis.
Nixon Court stated that the executive has exclusive authority and absolute discretion to decide whether to prosecute a case, but it held that the President cannot unilaterally countermand a decision on what materials will be subpoenaed by a special prosecutor working pursuant to regulations without first publicly rescinding the regulations according to established procedures.
United States, 357 U.S. 349 (1958) (unanimous decision), suggests that even in the face of such silence the President may still have to allege reasonable cause if there is a clear Congressional intent that the agency be autonomous.
