_To the Senate of the United States_:
I have carefully examined the bill "to regulate the tenure of certain
civil offices." The material portion of the bill is contained in the
first section, and is of the effect following, namely:
That every person holding any civil office to which he has been
appointed, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, and every
person who shall hereafter be appointed to any such office and shall
become duly qualified to act therein, is and shall be entitled
to hold such office until a successor shall have been appointed
by the President, with the advice and consent of the Senate, and duly
qualified; and that the Secretaries of State, of the Treasury, of War,
of the Navy, and of the Interior, the Postmaster-General, and the
Attorney-General shall hold their offices respectively for and during
the term of the President by whom they may have been appointed and for
one month thereafter, subject to removal by and with the advice and
consent of the Senate.
