The Senate has the power to approve or consent to the appointment of an individual a president nominates to be a member of the Cabinet. However, it has no authority to fire that individual once confirmed. Only the President can fire a Cabinet member. While Congress has no power to fire a Cabinet member, Congress it does have the power of the impeachment process to remove, not fire, the Cabinet member. Grounds for impeachment and removal of a Cabinet member are the same as those for impeachment and removal of the President.
