_Be it further enacted_, that in all instances of
appointment to office by the president, by and with the
advice and consent of the senate, the power of removal
shall be exercised only in concurrence with the senate;
and when the senate is not in session, the president may
suspend any such officer, communicating his reasons for
the suspension ♦during the first month of its succeeding
session, and if the senate concur with him, the officer
shall be removed; but if it do not concur with him, the
officer shall be restored to office.
Mr. Clay was subsequently induced not to urge his
amendment at this time.
