Have the terrorist attacks in Spain redefined the coming presidential campaign here? Does it put new pressure on the president to explain why we invaded Iraq, or does it put new importance on the president's claims that John Kerry is weak on defense? We'll ask the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Republican Richard Lugar, and former Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean, who is expected to endorse Kerry this week. Karen Tumulty of Time magazine joins in the questioning. Then this week's 50th anniversary FACE THE NATION Flashback will focus on the Watergate plumbers. Finally, I'll have a word about what the terrorists need to know about our coming election. But first, Howard Dean and Richard Lugar on FACE THE NATION. Announcer: FACE THE NATION, with CBS News chief Washington correspondent Bob Schieffer. And now from CBS News in Washington, Bob Schieffer. SCHIEFFER: Good morning again. Joining us from Burlington, Vermont, this morning, Howard Dean; in the studio with us, Senator Richard Lugar. Karen Tumulty of Time magazine is here for the questioning. We're going to begin with Governor Dean. Governor, thank you for coming this morning. Dr. HOWARD DEAN (Former Democratic Presidential Candidate): Thanks, Bob. SCHIEFFER: People in John Kerry's high command are letting it be known that they have not--have not--dismissed the idea of considering John McCain as a running mate. Now they're not going to make an announcement that that's going on, but people close to that campaign tell me that they're thinking about it. They're going to sound out advisers, other people, to see what they think about it, the bottom line being that in their minds the possibility of John McCain as a running mate for Senator Kerry is--is still alive and is still operating. Tom Oliphant, the columnist for The Boston Globe who probably has as many sources within the Kerry campaign as anybody I know, is laying out the reasons that it would be good to consider John McCain. So I begin by asking you: Do you think that's a good idea? Dr. DEAN: Well, I--I generally do not give advice to presidential candidates about running mates or anything else in public, and I don't intend to break that president--that precedent today. I think John Kerry's got to--going to pick a running mate who who's going to serve us honorably. I'm very open-minded about who that may be. I don't have a--a list of criteria in my mind that I--I certainly am going to support John Kerry no matter who he picks as a running mate, and Senator McCain's a fine person. I think that would be a very interesting choice but I'm sure he's going very carefully through his list, and I'm going to leave it at that. SCHIEFFER: But if--if he did select Senator McCain, you would still be able to support him? Dr. DEAN: Absolutely. Senator McCain and I differ on i--i--issues such as abortion, and I think that's a critical issue. We probably have some other differences as well. But he's well- respected, and I'm interested in--in ch--in sending this president back to Crawford, Texas. He has done more damage to this country than anybody probably since Warren Harding or Herbert Hoover. We have a huge $1/2 trillion deficit. We're bogged down in a war in Iraq where the administration, even the secretary of Defense on your program last week, wasn't BURRELLE'S INFORMATION SERVICES / (202)419-1859 / (800)456-2877 Face the Nation (CBS News) - Sunday, March 21, 2004 2 truthful about why we're there. We need a change, and I'm willing to do whatever I can to get that change, and electing John Kerry is how we're going to get that change. SCHIEFFER: Karen? Ms. KAREN TUMULTY (Time Magazine): So, Governor, this week you will be endorsing John Kerry. You are throwing your efforts now into getting him elected, and yet one of the first things you did on his behalf was to issue a statement that the campaign immediately had to repudiate. You said the president was the one who dragged our troops to Iraq, which apparently has been a factor in the death of 200 Spaniards over the weekend. Of course, no one's going to say that there's any justification for terrorism but do you, in fact, think that Spain would have been the target of that bombing had it not supported the United States in the--in the Iraq war? Dr. DEAN: First of all, we were not repudiated by John Kerry. That was a story created by some overanxious print journalists who had a too--a little too much time on their hands, and they fell for the old gag. I said what you said I said. I said that I did--that the terrorists themselves gave the reason for the attack on Spain for the fact that Spain had participated in the war in Iraq. That's their reasoning, which is what I said. The White House then put out a characterization of what I said which was not accurate. The print journalists rushed to John Kerry, who didn't know what I had said, and asked him to respond to the White House press releases. It was a--it was a--it was a typical `gotcha' silly journalism, and John Kerry, in fact, said that's not my position in response to something that the White House had said. So the story is ridiculous, and what you just said happened didn't happen. Now to get to the matter at hand, the important matter is the terrorists in their videotape said that they had attacked Spain because of the Spanish participation in the Iraq war. They also said they had done it because of the Spanish kicked the Moors out of the country in 1492. So you know, terrorism are--is terrorism. Terrorists use all kinds of self-justifications to kill people, but those are the reasons they gave. SCHIEFFER: It seems to me, Governor, that John Kerry, if he's gonna have a problem, the problem is that he has not been entirely consis--consis--consistent with the--in the positions he has taken. The White House will tell you that he has voted on all sides of almost every issue, and that is obviously campaign overstatement, but this week he did say, when asked why he voted against the $87 billion to fund the war in Iraq, he actually said on the record, `I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it.' Dr. DEAN: Well, you know, that's... SCHIEFFER: How does the campaign handle this kind of thing? Dr. DEAN: Well, you know, I was in trouble for saying things like that. The fact is here's what really happened. What really happened was that John Kerry took a position that I took, which is that the president had no business asking us for $87 billion to add to the deficit in our children's and grandchildren's debt loads without paying for it. And John Kerry said, `If you're gonna--if you believe in this, then pay for it. Cut back on your tax cut for the people who make a million dollars a year.' President evidently didn't think the $87 billion was important enough to pay for it, so John Kerry voted against it when it came to the final vote. I thought that was the right thing to do, that John Kerry did. He is being subjected to the same kind of silly journalism that I was subjected to, and of course the Republican National Committee is egging this on in their ads which are, of course, inaccurate as... BURRELLE'S INFORMATION SERVICES / (202)419-1859 / (800)456-2877 Face the Nation (CBS News) - Sunday, March 21, 2004 3 Ms. TUMULTY: But... SCHIEFFER: Wait... Dr. DEAN: ...many campaigns--ads are on both sides. So this is a--you know, should John have said this? Knowing what the journalists were gonna do to it, perhaps not. SCHIEFFER: Well... Dr. DEAN: But the truth is, he accurately represented his votes. You all took it out of context and the RNC put it in an ad. SCHIEFFER: Well, the fact is that you often accused him of being inconsistent yourself during the campaign, did you not? Dr. DEAN: Ye... SCHIEFFER: Which leads me to this. You're now gonna endorse him this week. There are a lot of your followers who were not too keen on John Kerry. How are you gonna convince them to--for the sake of unity, to come together and now support the person that they were against during the primaries? Dr.

JENSEN GALLEYSPROOFS2 1/22/2015 11:37 AM FUTURE WAR AND THE WAR POWERS RESOLUTION ∗ Eric Talbot Jensen ABSTRACT Since its passage in 1973 over the veto of then-President Nixon, the War Powers Resolution (WPR) has been laden with controversy. Labeled as everything from ineffective to unconstitutional, the WPR has generally failed in its design to require notification and consultation to Congress by the President. Despite numerous proposals to amend the WPR, it continues to languish in the twilight of Executive war powers, and its future is bleak. With emerging technologies such as drones, cyber tools, nanotechnology, and genomics, the ineffectiveness of the WPR will prove even more profound. The WPR’s reliance on “armed forces” and “hostilities” as triggers for the reporting and consulting requirements of the statute will prove completely inadequate to regulate the use of these advanced technologies. Rather, as the President analyzes the applicability of the WPR to military operations using these advancing technologies, he will determine that the WPR is not triggered and he has no reporting requirements.

  • The Case of Donald J. Trump†
    THE AGE OF THE WINNING EXECUTIVE: THE CASE OF DONALD J. TRUMP† Saikrishna Bangalore Prakash∗ INTRODUCTION The election of Donald J. Trump, although foretold by Matt Groening’s The Simpsons,1 was a surprise to many.2 But the shock, disbelief, and horror were especially acute for the intelligentsia. They were told, guaranteed really, that there was no way for Trump to win. Yet he prevailed, pulling off what poker aficionados might call a back- door draw in the Electoral College. Since his victory, the reverberations, commotions, and uproars have never ended. Some of these were Trump’s own doing and some were hyped-up controversies. We have endured so many bombshells and pur- ported bombshells that most of us are numb. As one crisis or scandal sputters to a pathetic end, the next has already commenced. There has been too much fear, rage, fire, and fury, rendering it impossible for many to make sense of it all. Some Americans sensibly tuned out, missing the breathless nightly reports of how the latest scandal would doom Trump or why his tormentors would soon get their comeuppance. Nonetheless, our reality TV President is ratings gold for our political talk shows. In his Foreword, Professor Michael Klarman, one of America’s fore- most legal historians, speaks of a degrading democracy.3 Many difficulties plague our nation: racial and class divisions, a spiraling debt, runaway entitlements, forever wars, and, of course, the coronavirus. Like many others, I do not regard our democracy as especially debased.4 Or put an- other way, we have long had less than a thoroughgoing democracy, in part ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– † Responding to Michael J.

  • The Evolution of the Senate Arms Control Observer Group
    The Evolution of the Senate Arms Control Observer Group The Evolution of the Senate Arms Control Observer Group By Nickolas Roth In March 2013, the Senate voted down an amendment offered by Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) to cut $700,000 from their budget that was set-aside for the National Security Working Group (NSWG). What many did not realize at the time was that this relatively small and obscure proposed cut would have eliminated one of the last traces of the bipartisan Congressional approach to debating arms control. The NSWG first began as the Arms Control Observer Group, which helped to build support for arms control in the Senate. In recent years, there have been calls from both Democrats and Republicans to revive the Observer Group, but very little analysis of the role it played. Its history illustrates the stark contrast in the Senate’s attitude and approach to arms control issues during the mid- to late 1980s compared with the divide that exists today between the two parties. The Arms Control Observer Group The Arms Control Observer Group was first formed in 1985. At the time, the United States was engaged in talks with the Soviet Union on the Intermediate Nuclear Forces Treaty. To generate support for ongoing negotiations, Majority Leader Senator Bob Dole (R-KS), and Minority Leader Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV), with the endorsement of President Ronald Reagan, created the bipartisan Arms Control Observer Group. The Observer Group consisted of twelve senators, with four senators, two from each party, serving as co-chairs1 and created an official role for senators to join U.S.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

Toth, Senior Associate Kimberly Parker, Research Director Margaret Petrella, Survey Analyst Pew Research Center for The People & The Press 202/293-3126 http://www.people-press.org FORBES DRAWS EVEN WITH DOLE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE Political newcomer Steve Forbes has moved into a statistical tie with Bob Dole for top honors in the New Hampshire primary. A Pew Research Center poll of 543 likely voters taken January 25-28 finds the millionaire publisher leading the Senator 29% to 24%, but the lead is within the poll's margin of sampling error. Well behind the two front runners are Lamar Alexander (11%), Pat Buchanan (11%), and Phil Gramm (10%), all in a statistical tie for third place. All other candidates register less than 5% support. Despite the big margin that separates Forbes and Dole from the second tier of candidates, voter attitudes in New Hampshire are highly volatile. Only a tiny minority of respondents describe themselves as strong supporters of any of the candidates (Dole 6%, Forbes 7%, Alexander 2%, Gramm 2%, and Buchanan 5%). There is also widespread discontent among New Hampshire voters with the Republican field, which is currently working to Forbes's advantage. A 64% majority of likely voters gave the Republican candidates as a group a negative rating of fair or poor. Forbes leads Dole by a 30% to 22% margin among these disaffected voters, while Dole leads 32% to 26% among voters who view the Republican field as good or excellent overall.
