The President has the power to remove high level, purely executive officers (like his cabinet members) without any permission or interference from Congress. However, when it comes to all other executive appointees, Congress can create statutory limitations to their removal (e.g., no removal unless good cause). So in the case of an executive appointee, the President could potentially be limited by Congress.
Congress itself has the power to remove executive officers, but to do so it has to go through a formal impeachment procedure.

Yes! If you want some interesting reading about a sinking president firing people, read about Nixon in his last couple years in office! I lived through that time, and see a lot of Nixon in Bush
