Executive Accountability

The President is accountable to the people, and therefore must have control over those who exercise presidential power.

Efficient Governance

A president cannot effectively carry out responsibilities if saddled with officials they cannot work with or trust.

Checks and Balances

The Senate retains its power to confirm appointees, but Congress shouldn't dictate who the President can remove.
