under the sarbanes–oxley act, officers of the public company accounting oversight board (pcaob) enjoyed dual layers of "for cause" protection against presidential removal. pcaob officers could be removed only "for good cause shown" by officers of the securities and exchange commission (sec). officers of the sec could be removed by the president for "inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office." this meant that although the president could remove high-ranking members of the sec, he was unable to govern and execute power to the board, thus providing a "dual layer" of protection. sarbanes-oxley act's dual for-cause limitations on removal of members of public company accounting oversight board, under which the president was restricted in his ability to remove principal officers, who was in turn restricted in his ability to remove inferior officer, even though that inferior officer determined policy and enforced laws of the united states, contravened constitution's separation of powers. the president could not "take care that the laws be faithfully executed" within meaning of article ii if he could not oversee faithfulness of officers who executed them. u.s.c.a. const. art. 2, § 1, cl. 1]; u.s.c.a. const. art. 2, § 3]; sarbanes-oxley act of 2002, §§ 101(e)(6), 107(d)(3), 15 u.s.c.a. §§ 7211(e)(6)], 7217(d)(3)]. these dual layers of limitation on the president's ability to remove pcaob officers led to separation of powers violations of the appointments clause and instead pcaob officers exercised executive branch powers by determining policy and enforcing the laws of the united states.
