    APPENDIX: SMALL STATES FIRST - LARGE STATES LAST: THE REPUBLICAN PLAN FOR REFORMING THE PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES by Robert D. Loevy Presented at the 2001 Annual Meeting Western Political Science Association Alexis Park Hotel Las Vegas, Nevada March 17, 2001 In the early fall of 1999, Jim Nicholson, the Chairman of the Republican National Committee, appointed a special committee to study the presidential primaries. The committee was officially titled the Advisory Commission on the Presidential Nominating Process. It was better known as the Brock Commission, named for the Advisory Commission chairperson, former Republican U.S. Senator Bill Brock of Tennessee.1 On December 13, 1999, the Advisory Commission held a public hearing at the headquarters of the Republican National Committee in Washington, D.C. Academic scholars from throughout the nation were invited to come and present their ideas and proposals for reforming the presidential primary process. The hearing was recorded 1 In addition to Bill Brock, who also was a former Chairperson of the Republican National Committee, the Advisory Commission included U.S. Senator Spencer Abraham, former National Chairperson Haley Barbour, Richard Bond, U.S. Representative Tom Davis, Frank Fahrenkopf, California Secretary of State Bill Jones, Oklahoma Governor Frank Keating, and Tom Sansonetti. Republican National Committee Chairperson Jim Nicholson was an ex officio member of the Advisory Commission. 1 by the C-SPAN television network and subsequently broadcast across the country. According to news reports, two major reform plans emerged from the public hearing. The first was the Rotating Regional Primary Plan proposed by the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS).

INTRODUCTION BY TOM SANSONETTI The panel entitled "An Update on Energy and Natural Resource Issues of Interest" was designed to educate the conference participants on a wide variety of topics with impacts, not only in Wyoming, but across the Rocky Mountain states. The goal was to provide more of an in-depth review of important policies and litigation than afforded in newspaper stories, online articles, or radio summaries. The first panelist, Dessa Reimer, an of counsel attorney in the Jackson office of Holland & Hart LLP, reviewed the "Litigation Over the Bureau of Indian Affair's (BIA) New Pipeline Right-of-Way Rule," which became effective in April 2016, as it applies on the Wind River Reservation and elsewhere in Indian Country.

  • THE REPORT of the National Symposium on Presidential Selection
    THE REPORT of the National Symposium on Presidential Selection THE CENTER FOR GOVERNMENTAL STUDIES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA 2001 THE REPORT of the National Symposium on Presidential Selection THE CENTER FOR GOVERNMENTAL STUDIES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA Copyright 2001 University of Virginia Center for Governmental Studies THE CENTER FOR GOVERNMENTAL STUDIES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA Founded in 1998 by Larry Sabato, the Center for Governmental Studies is dedicated to the proposition that government works better when politics works better. The Center is a non-partisan, public-interest institute with a three-part mission of political research, reform, and education. The Center is located in Charlottesville, Virginia, at the University founded by the same Thomas Jefferson who framed much of the American political system. The Center bridges the gap between the theory and the reality of politics with an innovative blend of lectures, forums, scholarly research, and community outreach. These efforts seek to explore politics past and present while maintaining a decidedly practical focus on the future. The annual conferences of the Governor’s Project, for example, consider the legacy of Virginia’s governors to preserve some hard-learned historical les- sons that may be applied today and by generations to come. Each December, the American Democracy Conference offers leading scholars, political players, journalists, and the general public an opportunity to assess the state of our democratic process. And the National Symposium Series brings together some of the most informed voices and brightest stars on the national scene to discuss a subject of particular relevance to the health of American politics.

  • Roman Buhler Director, the Madison Coalition Thank You for The
    Roman Buhler Director, The Madison Coalition Thank you for the opportunity to testify before the Committee today. I am the Director of the Madison Coalition, an organization dedicated to restoring a balance of state and federal power. America is in danger of adopting new style of government. In past years Presidents governed by working to pass laws in Congress. But in recent years it seems that some in the Executive Branch believe they can govern with regulatory edicts simply dictated from Washington. State legislators like you here in Kansas and around the nation have an opportunity to take a stand in support of a permanent end to "regulation without representation" and to help ensure that federal regulations, like federal laws, have the consent of the governed. We can no longer be satisfied with a government where bureaucrats dictate the rules that govern us. A bipartisan majority in the U.S. House of Representatives recently voted for a Bill called the REINS Act (Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny) to require that major new federal regulations be approved by Congress. But it is very unlikely that such a law could get the support of the necessary 60 votes in the U.S. Senate, even if America elected a President who would sign it. Furthermore, the constitutionality of such a law could be challenged in Court and, even if upheld, a law could be repealed or waived by a future Congress. An Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, on the other hand, could permanently rein in federal regulators and help to restore the checks and balances intended by the authors of our Constitution.
