The Decision of 1789 refers to the month-long constitutional debate that occurred during the first session of the United States House of Representatives as to whether Article II of the U.S. Constitution granted the President with the power to remove Officers of the United States at will. It has been called "the first significant legislative construction of the Constitution." The debate originated when congress was "discussing a bill that would create a Department of Foreign Affairs"—the precursor to the Department of State—and who had the power to remove officers from that department. Congress ultimately enacted three departmental acts "that contained nearly identical language", none of which contained language expressly granting the President removal power. However, throughout history, Justices of the Supreme Court and legal scholars have hotly discussed and debated the legal significance of the decision.

Arguments that the supports broad Presidential removal power
Writing as Pacificus, Alexander Hamilton stated that the Decision construed the Constitution as placing full executive removal power with the President. This view was supported by Chief Justice John Marshall in his biography of George Washington. In the majority opinion in Myers v. United States, Chief Justice Robert Taft writing for the majority, used the Decision of 1789 as support for broad presidential removal powers. More recently, Chief Justice John Roberts used the decision similarly in Seila Law LLC v. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
