The Tenure in Office Act of 1867 did just this. It was passed to thwart President Andrew Johnson's attempt to control the cabinet which he had inherited from Lincoln. It was used as a basis for the impeachment charges against Johnson. The act was repealed in 1887. In 1926, the supreme court ruled that a similar act was unconstitutional.
