Yes. Cabinet secretaries are appointed by the president and must be confirmed by the U.S. Senate with simply majority vote. But, when presidents want to fire or ask fot the resignation of cabinet secretaries, they can do without the U.S Senate's advice and consent.

∙ 10y agoYes, the President can be removed from office. The process begins with a bill of impeachment passed by the House of Representatives. That leads to a trial by the US Senate in which 2/3 must vote in favor to get a conviction and reove the President.
Reference: US Constitution
The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
The Constitution, Article I, Section 3:
The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.
Judgment in Cases of Impeachments shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust, or Profit under the United States, but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment, and Punishmnet, according to Law.

∙ 6y agoI am not sure what you are asking. The president can fire the members of his cabinet and other high-ranking members of the executive department. He can not fire federal judges or lower-level workers who are protected by civil service. He can relieve high raking military officers of their commands but can not dismiss them from the service.

Pres. Andrew Johnson was impeached because the House of Representatives did not think he had that right. Some time later, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that he can.

Can the US president fire the Speaker of the House of Representatives?
No the US president does not have the authority to do so. One of the hallmarks of the Federal system is that the three branches of government are independent. So the president (executive branch), Congress (legislative branch), and judges (judicial branch) basically have no power over one another. Instead, there's a system where each branch has some authority over each other branch. For example, Congress can impeach (fire) the president or a judge in extreme cases. And a president can veto Congress's legislation. Just to make it clear: the president isn't the boss of anyone in Congress, on the courts, or state officials, etc. General speaking, the big-name offices that the president is boss of are Vice-President (though the president can't fire the vice pres), Secretary of ______, and the military.
Can anyone become president of the US?
