  • Trump Success? Conventional Measures in the Era of an Unconventional President
    Trump Success? Conventional Measures in the Era of an Unconventional President Jon R. Bond Texas A&M University [email protected] and Manny Teodoro Texas A&M University [email protected] Prepared for Presentation at the 115th Annual Meeting & Exhibition of the American Political Science Association August 29 – September 1, 2019 Washington, DC Trump Success? Conventional Measures in the Era of an Unconventional President Abstract Conventional indicators reported in CQ’s 2017 Presidential Support Study show that President Trump racked up a “Record Success Rate”, winning 100 percent of House votes on which he expressed a position. Although presidency scholars have long recognized that winning roll call votes is not an indication of presidential influence, Trump’s unconventional style and his willful ignorance of Congress and basic details of the policies he “supports” lead us to question whether the results of roll call votes should even be interpreted as presidential success. Including this unconventional president in the study of a still small n of presidents requires innovative indicators that do not rely exclusively on traditional Presidential Support Scores that compare members on a static zero to 100 scale. Taking cues from FiveThirtyEight and from the field of sabermetrics, this paper presents two novel metrics that estimate whether House members’ support for the 11 elected presidents from Eisenhower to Trump is higher or lower than should be expected relative to differing political conditions. One metric, Support Above Expectations (SAE), estimates whether members’ presidential support is higher or lower than should be expected given electoral conditions, partisanship, polarization. This metric builds on 538’s “Trump plus-minus” score.

Hatfield Approved as to style and content by: Glen Gordon. Member of Committee TO JANE Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2016 https://archive.org/details/1966marylandgube00hatf INTRODUCTION It is hypothesized that the salient open occupancy issue accounted for much of the variance in electoral preference in the 1966 Maryland Guber- natorial Election. We propose to validate this assertion by (1) establishing the existence of definite attitudes on integrated housing and political representation of such attitudes (2) verbal and quantitative analysis of candidates' campaigns and voter support in the primary and general elec- tion, and (3) analysis of the place occupied by the open occupancy issue in the campaign and the degree to which it determined electoral preference in this election.

Increasingly regulation has taken the form of prohibition: Thou Shalt Not Do; no discharge of pollutants into the navigable waters by 1985. The environmental area is rife with examples of prohibitive policy. The thesis studies the formation and implementation of one of these -- the extremely prohibitive Endangered Species Act -- through case studies and measures of program output. Critics argue that prohibitive policy is bad because it does not allow for a balancing of the costs and benefits of alternative actions. They assume that implementation decisions are made solely on technical criteria, that outside parties are excluded from decision-making, and that agency discretion is limited. The thesis argues, however, that these are bad assumptions.

  • Eastland Collection File Series 1: Personal/Political Subseries 18: Congressional Correspondence
    JAMES O. EASTLAND COLLECTION FILE SERIES 1: PERSONAL/POLITICAL SUBSERIES 18: CONGRESSIONAL CORRESPONDENCE The eleven boxes in this subseries contain Eastland’s correspondence with U.S. Senators and U.S. Representatives, as well as various non-member congressional offices and agencies. Arranged alphabetically by the last name of the member of Congress, the inventory then provides a chronological, item-level description of each document. Eastland correspondence with congressional office and committee staff appears under the relevant member of Congress. Correspondence with no apparent date is placed at the end of each file. The item-level description includes a brief summary of the topic under discussion. Subjects discussed range from routine birthday greetings; thank you notes for gifts; requests for signed photographs, surplus tickets, or publications; and discussions of committee assignments. Other letters may contain in-depth analysis of politics and legislation with attached memoranda and publications. Also present are drafts of tributes by Eastland honoring various colleagues. Researchers should note that members of Congress often send letters addressed as “My dear Senator,” or “Dear Colleague” to either the entire Congress or to the membership of their respective legislative branch. However, those letters on the inventory designated as specifically addressed to Eastland were not necessarily sent to him alone. Also, note that Eastland occasionally received copies of correspondence between other members of Congress, as well as correspondence between other members of Congress and the executive branch or federal government agencies. Occasionally, correspondence between Eastland and constituents are filed in this subseries if the only topic under discussion is a particular member of Congress.
