MEYERS V. UNITED STATES
272 U.S. 52 (1926)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a suit for unlawful termination of a postmaster.
FACTS: Myers (P) was appointed postmaster for a four-year term in Portland, Oregon under
a statute that provided that postmasters shall be appointed and may be removed by the
President and with the advice and consent of the Senate. President Wilson removed P from
office before the expiration of his term and without the consent of the Senate. P sued for
back pay. The government opposed the suit as it claimed the removal was lawful; it was
unconstitutional to limit the president's power to remove an executive branch official by
requiring the Senate's agreement.
