  • Yale Men As Writers on Law and Government
    YALE LAW JOURNAL VOL. XI NOVEMBER, 19o No. i YALE MEN AS WRITERS ON LAW AND GOVERNMENT. An American bar was not really in existence before the Revolu- tion. Great causes in which the colonists were interested were oc- casionally argued at Westminster or before the King in Council, but they were generally in the hands of English barristers. One of the first American lawyers who ever argued before the latter tribunal* was William Samuel Johnson of Connecticut (Yale, Class of 1744), a silver-tongued orator, and one of the Committee on Style, which put the constitution of the United States in its final form, but who has left no published works to perpetuate his name.t His appear- ance was in the Mohegan case, involving important landed inter- ests in Connecticut, heard at London in 1767, and he had been made, the year before, a Doctor of Civil Law by the University of Oxford. There could be no legal literature in America until our law took a shape of its own, and came to be cultivated as a science. To this Independence opened the door. $ Removing the possibility of any appel from American to English tribunals, it gave the lawyers of that day a fair field to work out an orderly system of jurisprudence, *Beardsley, Life and Times of William Samuel Johnson, 47. tHis dispatches as Colonial Agent at London for Connecticut, to its gov- ernor, which are published in the Trumbull Papersby the Massachusetts His- torical Society, show great power of observation and judgment. tSee Two Centuries' Growth of American Law, 13, 17.

    OFFICERS OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH OF THE GOVERNMENT [ 1 ] EXPLANATORY NOTE A Cabinet officer is not appointed for a fixed term and does not necessarily go out of office with the President who made the appointment. While it is customary to tender one’s resignation at the time a change of administration takes place, officers remain formally at the head of their department until a successor is appointed. Subordinates acting temporarily as heads of departments are not con- sidered Cabinet officers, and in the earlier period of the Nation’s history not all Cabinet officers were heads of executive departments. The names of all those exercising the duties and bearing the respon- sibilities of the executive departments, together with the period of service, are incorporated in the lists that follow. The dates immediately following the names of executive officers are those upon which commis- sions were issued, unless otherwise specifically noted. Where periods of time are indicated by dates as, for instance, March 4, 1793, to March 3, 1797, both such dates are included as portions of the time period. On occasions when there was a vacancy in the Vice Presidency, the President pro tem- pore is listed as the presiding officer of the Senate. The Twentieth Amendment to the Constitution (effective Oct. 15, 1933) changed the terms of the President and Vice President to end at noon on the 20th day of January and the terms of Senators and Representatives to end at noon on the 3d day of January when the terms of their successors shall begin.

  • Presidents Without Mandates (With Special Emphasis on Ohio)
    WILLIAM HOWARD TAFf LECTURE PRESIDENTS WITHOUT MANDATES (WITH SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON OHIO) Akhil Reed Amar· Advocate, judge, scholar, diplomat, and President-William Howard Taft packed at least five grand careers in the law into one life. A single lecture in honor of so large a man could travel a long way in any number ofdirections, and yet stay close and true to him. This day, I shall take my cue notjust from the man, but from the place. Ohio is, or at least for much ofour history has been, the home ofPresidents. This place invites us to ask not simply about what one does as President, but also about how one becomes President. The specific story of Taft's ascension might make for a fine tale, but it has been well told elsewhere. l Today, I shall try to offer a different, more general, story focusing on those who (unlike Taft) came to the Presidency without a direct and personal mandate from the American electorate. Before I plunge into my tale, let me note some ofthe roads I shall not travel. William Howard Taft became a state judge at the age oftwenty­ nine, the Solicitor General ofthe United States at thirty-two, a federal CircuitJudge a couple ofyears later, and eventually, ofcourse, Chief Justice ofthe United States.2 A lecture commemorating this part ofhis extraordinary life might reflect on his greatestjudicial opinion, Myers v. United States3-the subject ofJustice Scalia's Taft Lecture;4 or on Taft's overall legacy as Chief Justice-the subject of Judge McGowan's Inaugural Taft Lecture;5 or on the more general topic of judicial review-the subject ofSenator Hatch's Taft Lecture;6 or on the role of * Southmayd Professor ofLaw, Yale Law School.
