The Tenure of Office Act of 1867 was an American federal law that regulated the dismissal of ministers from the Cabinet. It gained notoriety in particular through the impeachment proceedings against the President Andrew Johnson, who was accused of having violated it. In 1887, Congress rescinded the law. Later, in 1926, the Supreme Court invalidated a law similar to the Tenure of Office Act but which did not apply to Cabinet posts.

Selected members of the militia were called minutemen because they could be ready to fight in a minute's time. Sure enough, when the advance guard of nearly 240 British soldiers arrived in Lexington, they found about 70 minutemen formed on the Lexington Green awaiting them.
