Speakers of the House: Elections, 1913-2021
Speakers of the House: Elections, 1913-2021 Updated January 25, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov RL30857 Speakers of the House: Elections, 1913-2021 Summary Each new House elects a Speaker by roll call vote when it first convenes. Customarily, the conference of each major party nominates a candidate whose name is placed in nomination. A Member normally votes for the candidate of his or her own party conference but may vote for any individual, whether nominated or not. To be elected, a candidate must receive an absolute majority of all the votes cast for individuals. This number may be less than a majority (now 218) of the full membership of the House because of vacancies, absentees, or Members answering “present.” This report provides data on elections of the Speaker in each Congress since 1913, when the House first reached its present size of 435 Members. During that period (63rd through 117th Congresses), a Speaker was elected six times with the votes of less than a majority of the full membership. If a Speaker dies or resigns during a Congress, the House immediately elects a new one. Five such elections occurred since 1913. In the earlier two cases, the House elected the new Speaker by resolution; in the more recent three, the body used the same procedure as at the outset of a Congress. If no candidate receives the requisite majority, the roll call is repeated until a Speaker is elected. Since 1913, this procedure has been necessary only in 1923, when nine ballots were required before a Speaker was elected.

House Officer, Party Leader, and Representative Name Redacted Specialist on Congress and the Legislative Process
The Speaker of the House: House Officer, Party Leader, and Representative name redacted Specialist on Congress and the Legislative Process November 12, 2015 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov 97-780 The Speaker of the House: House Officer, Party Leader, and Representative Summary The Speaker of the House of Representatives is widely viewed as symbolizing the power and authority of the House. The Speaker’s most prominent role is that of presiding officer of the House. In this capacity, the Speaker is empowered by House rules to administer proceedings on the House floor, including recognition of Members to speak on the floor or make motions and appointment of Members to conference committees. The Speaker also oversees much of the non- legislative business of the House, such as general control over the Hall of the House and the House side of the Capitol and service as chair of the House Office Building Commission. The Speaker’s role as “elect of the elect” in the House also places him or her in a highly visible position with the public. The Speaker also serves as not only titular leader of the House but also leader of the majority party conference. The Speaker is often responsible for airing and defending the majority party’s legislative agenda in the House. The Speaker’s third distinct role is that of an elected Member of the House. Although elected as an officer of the House, the Speaker continues to be a Member as well. As such the Speaker enjoys the same rights, responsibilities, and privileges of all Representatives.

Chapter CLII.1 the OATH
Chapter CLII.1 THE OATH. 1. Administration to the Speaker. Sections 6, 7. 2. Limited jurisdiction of the Speaker in administering. Section 8. 3. Challenging the right of a Member to be sworn. Sections 9–11. 4. Administration before arrival of credentials. Sections 12, 13. 5. Administration to Members away from House. Sections 14–19. 6. Administration by Speaker pro tempore. Section 20. 7. Relations to the quorum, reading of the Journal and Calendar Wednesday. Sec- tions 21, 22. 6. While the oath has usually been administered to the Speaker by the Member of longest consecutive service, that practice is not always fol- lowed.—On May 19, 1919,2 the oath of office was administered to Speaker Fred- erick H. Gillett, himself the ‘‘Father of the House,’’ by Mr. Joseph G. Cannon, of Illinois, who, though the Member of longest service, was one of the younger Mem- bers of the House in consecutive service. 7. On April 4, 1911,3 Mr. J. Fred C. Talbott, of Maryland, one of the older Members of the House, but not the oldest in consecutive service, administered the oath to Mr. Speaker Clark. 8. Previously it was the custom to administer the oath by State delega- tions, but beginning with the Seventy-first Congress Members elect have been sworn in en masse.—On April 15, 1929,4 following the administration of the oath of office to the Speaker elect, the Speaker 5 after addressing the House announced: The Chair asks the attention of all the Members of the House for a moment. The Chair has decided to practice an innovation in the manner of administering the oath of office to Members.

Nicholas Longworth 17 Nicholas Longworth: Art Patron of Cincinnati
Spring 1988 Nicholas Longworth 17 Nicholas Longworth: Art Patron of Cincinnati Abby S. Schwartz ... A little bit of an ugly man came in...he came forward and, taking my hand and squeezing it hard, he looked at me with a keen, earnest gaze. ... His manners are extremely rough and almost course, but his shrewd eyes and plain manner hide a very strong mind and generous heart.1 These observations made in 1841 by the young artist Lilly Martin Spencer hardly seem appropriate for a man who was among America's wealthiest and one of Cin- cinnati's most prominent citizens. Described by another contemporary as "dry and caustic in his remarks" and "plain and careless in his dress, looking more like a beggar than a millionaire,"2 Nicholas Longworth, however eccentric and controversial, was a leading Cincinnati art patron as well as an outstanding collector and a generous supporter of the arts during the middle of the nineteenth century. Longworth's eccentricities of dress and behav- ior are well documented in photographs, portraits, and anec- dotes. While the Portrait of Nicholas Longworth by Robert Scott Duncanson (1 821-1872) portrays the subject as an important property owner and vintner, the work also docu- ments Longworth's eccentric habit of pinning notes to his suit cuffs to remind himself of important errands and appoint- ments. The portrait, painted in 18 5 8, is on permanent loan to the Cincinnati Art Museum from the Ohio College of Applied Science. An often repeated anecdote details young Abraham Lincoln's visit to Longworth's renowned gardens During the years he resided at Belmont (now where Lincoln mistook the master of the house for a gardener: the Taft Museum), 1830 until his death in 18 6 3, Longworth In the middle of the gravel path leading to a pillared portico, a amassed a personal art collection, assisted a number of artists small, queerly dressed old man, with no appearance whatever offinancially, offered advice and letters of introduction to having outgrown his old-fashioned raiment, was weeding.

Can Party Governance Endure in the U.S. House of Representatives? a Personal Essay by Donald R
Can Party Governance Endure in the U.S. House of Representatives? A Personal Essay By Donald R. Wolfensberger A Congress Project 120th Anniversary Roundtable on Woodrow Wilson’s Congressional Government Monday, November 14, 2005 I was first introduced to Woodrow Wilson’s 1885 treatise, Congressional Government: A Study in American Politics, as a graduate student in political science at the University of Iowa in the mid-1960s. That same course also included on its reading list Congressional Government’s contemporary counterpart, James MacGregor Burns’s Deadlock of Democracy: Four Party Politics in America (1963), and Alexander and Juliette George’s psycho-biography of Wilson, Woodrow Wilson and Colonel House: A Personality Study (1964). I bundled my findings and opinions from these and other readings into a review essay titled (as I recall it), “James MacGregor Burns’s Deadlock of Democracy and Anglophilia in American Politics .” In the paper I traced the love affair many political scientists have had over the years with Wilson’s idealized notion of transplanting a British-like parliamentary system in American soil. Most notable among these was the report of the Committee on Political Parties of the American Political Science Association in 1950 titled, “Toward a More Responsible Two Party System.”1 I concluded in my review essay that any such transplant attempt would never take root and flourish here because our constitutional soil and evolving political environment were quite different from Britain’s, notwithstanding similar institutional traits. The reason the transplant would not take, I argued, was that our constitutional system of representative government was based, first and foremost, on the geographic representation of the people, whereas the British parliamentary system was based primarily on the representation of political parties, with constituency representation a secondary concern.

Table of Contents Interview Abstract i Interviewee Biography i Editing Practices ii Citation Information ii Interviewer Biography iii Interview One 1 Interview Two 53 Interview Three 110 Interview Four 166 Notes 203 Index 204 Abstract Benjamin West joined the staff of the House Press Gallery in 1942 when he was 15 years old. His 44-year career spanned the pinnacle and the decline of the newspaper as Americans’ primary source of information and the ascendancy of electronic media. In this series of interviews, West discussed the evolution of the House Press Gallery, particularly as the press sought to explain federal actions and policies that had become increasingly important in Americans’ everyday lives. He described the structure of the gallery, related its early history, and detailed its daily operations under its second and third superintendents, William J. Donaldson, Jr., and Richard (Dick) Embly. West explained the role of the Standing Committee of Correspondents, mentioning many of its key members, and its dynamic relationship with the gallery. He recalled pioneering women reporters and African- American reporters in the 1940s and historic events such as the 1954 shooting in the House Chamber and the 1974 Nixon impeachment hearings, both of which he witnessed. West also provided insight into the complex role of the gallery staff—particularly the superintendent—in its efforts to serve “two masters”: the press and the Members and staff.

Woodrow Wilson, Congress, and the Income Tax by Don
Woodrow Wilson, Congress, and the Income Tax By Don Wolfensberger An Introductory Essay for the Congress Project Seminar on “Congress and Tax Policy” Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars Tuesday, March 16, 2004 At almost every session Congress has made some effort, more or less determined, towards changing the revenue system in some essential portion; and that system has never escaped radical alteration for ten years together. Had revenue been graduated by the comparatively steady standard of the expenditures, it must have been kept stable and calculable; but depending as it has done on a much debated and constantly fluctuating industrial policy, it has been regulated in accordance with a scheme which has passed through as many phases as there have been vicissitudes and vagaries in the fortunes of commerce and the tactics of parties. – Woodrow Wilson Congressional Government (1885) Introduction The modern American tax system was conceived during the presidency of Woodrow Wilson (1913-1921). The Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution, empowering Congress “to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived....” was ratified on February 23, 1913, just nine days prior to Wilson’s inauguration as president. One of Wilson’s first acts as president was to call Congress into special session on April 7 for the purpose of legislating lower tariffs and thereby fulfilling one of the campaign pledges of the Democratic Party platform and of Wilson the candidate. The next day, April 8, Wilson traveled to Capitol Hill to deliver his tariff message in person before a joint session of Congress–the first president to do so since John Adams.1 Part of Wilson’s “New Freedom” platform was to dismantle monopolies, and one of the ways of doing so was to take away high protective tariffs which he saw as one of the economic foundations of monopolies.
