This activity explores the Supreme Court case Myers v. United States (1926) and its impact on presidential powers and the balance of government authority. Students will learn how a law requiring Senate approval to remove certain government officials was struck down, strengthening the President’s control over the executive branch. The case highlights how the Constitution limits Congressional power over executive actions and continues to shape debates about separation of powers and leadership in the U.S. government today.
