    House Sergeant at Arms: Legislative and Administrative Duties name redacted Analyst on the Congress name redacted Analyst in American National Government January 18, 2013 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov 98-835 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress House Sergeant at Arms: Legislative and Administrative Duties Introduction The Sergeant at Arms is an elected officer of the House of Representatives, nominated at the beginning of each Congress by the House majority leadership, and elected by the House membership. The Sergeant at Arms has law enforcement, protocol, and administrative responsibilities within the House.1 Initially established during the First Congress (1789-1791),2 the duties of the Sergeant at Arms are mandated in law, House rules, custom, and oversight by the House Committee on Appropriations and the Committee on House Administration in the exercise of their oversight roles. Additionally, the Sergeant at Arms’ portfolio complements the legislative and administrative operations of the Clerk of the House and the administrative functions of the Chief Administrative Officer.3 Election Process As an elected official of the House, the Sergeant at Arms is chosen by House Members on the first day of a new Congress. In general, the majority party introduces a resolution to elect the officers of the House, including the Sergeant at Arms. The slate of candidates is often chosen by the majority party leadership, sometimes with consultation with the minority. After the resolution’s introduction, the minority party typically offers an amendment to nominate their own slate of candidates for office. The vote to agree to the resolution is generally a party line vote.4 Interim Sergeant at Arms In four cases, the incumbent Sergeant at Arms resigned or died in office.

  • I Enclose a Brief Historical Sketch Of
    From the President MAGDALEN COLLEGE Professor David Clary OXFORD OX1 4AU August 2015 Dear New Magdalen Member, Congratulations on winning a place at Magdalen! I enclose a brief historical sketch of Magdalen College as a stimulus to what will, I hope, develop into an abiding interest in our history and in the history of Oxford as a whole. You will already be conscious of the fact that Magdalen possesses an incomparable environment, both in buildings and landscape, and also a set of carefully nurtured traditions that spring from our rich and colourful history. It is impossible to condense into a few pages a full account of our residential buildings, Chapel, many libraries, gardens and archives. They have evolved in the course of over a half millennium and are very fully documented within the College. The text I am sending you, written by an Old Member of the College, is offered as a starting point for your own exploration of the College and its history. I do hope you will make use of it during the important years that you are about to spend at Magdalen. I have also added my own note on more recent developments in the College. If you would like to know more I would be happy to talk to you myself. The College’s website contains much useful information: www.magd.ox.ac.uk. I am very much looking forward to meeting you in October. Yours sincerely Professor David Clary President MAGDALEN COLLEGE This description of Magdalen is taken, by permission, from The Colleges of Oxford by Miles Jebb (a former member of the college), published by Constable in 1992.

  • Horses and Bridles
    DIVISION OF THE HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY PASADENA, CALIFORNIA 91125 HORSES AND BRIDLES J. Kent Clark r- 0 0 '1- HUMANITIES WORKING PAPER 167 November 1997 Horses and Bridles J. Kent Clark Horses and Bridles is Chapter XIX of my biography of Thomas Wharton, 5th Baron, 1st Earl, and 1st Marquess of Wharton. The chapter covers the major political events of 1687, particularly those leading up to the Revolution of 1688. It shows how James II alienated his Tory subjects and provided the Whig "Tom" Wharton, soon to be a leader in the Revolution, with powerful allies The chapter also deals with the most significant changes in the personal world of the Whartons. The table of abbreviations and the short-title bibliography apply to the whole book, not merely this chapter. GIFT HORSES AND BRIDLES J. Kent Clark On 19 March 1687, Mary Wharton Kemeys had her first sitting at the studio of portrait artist William Wissing. Her brother Tom, she reported to her husband, had already sat several times; his portrait, she supposed, would be finished after one more session. The popular Wissing was also making a portrait of Tom's mistress Jane Dering, whom Mary had met at the studio, along with Jane's sister Katharine, Lady Perceval. Since Wissing was working on several other portraits, Mary told her husband, it was unlikely that her own picture would be completed before she was obliged to return home to Wales. 1 As for Wharton family news, Mary said, the only recent event worth mentioning was Tom's victory at Newport Pagnell, where that week his horse had won a plate worth thirty pounds.

As promised in the last volume of the Marriage Registers of Derbyshire, the marriage records of St. Michael's are printed in this volume. ^ '^^QOQ^ The Editors do not doubt that these will prove equally interesting to Derbyshire people. In Volume V. they hope to print further instalments of town registers in the shape of those of St. Peter's, and also some village registers, to be followed in next volume by St. Werburgh's. It will be convenient to give here a list of the Derby- shire parishes of which the Registers have been printed in this series : — verbatim. They are reduced to a common form, and the following contractions have been freely used : w. = widower or widow. p. = of the parish of. s. = spinster, single woman, or co. = in the county of. son of. b. = bachelor or single man. dioc. = in the diocese of. d. = daughter of lie. = marriage licence. All these extracts have been made by Mr. LI. LI. Simpson. Thanks are due to the parish clergy for permission to print these extracts. It may be well to remind the reader that these printed abstracts of the registers are not legal "evidence." For certificates application must be made to the local clergy.

  • Prayer of the Month • March 2012
    Prayer of the Month • March 2012 With a thankful heart, O Lord, I acknowledge thine infinite goodness in giving me such a portion of worldly goods as frees me from anxious cares: but I beseech thee to give me grace so to receive the gifts that they may never become snares and temptations. Make me sensible of their uncertainty that I may sit loose to them, using them temperately whilst thou art pleased to continue them, and ready to part with them contentedly when thy good Providence shall call me to such a resignation. John Hough, Bishop of Worcester, 1651–1743 ‘I have learnt in whatever state to be content’, St Paul writes. John Hough certainly had plenty of experience on which to base such a prayer, over the series of confrontations over his presidency of Magdalen College, alternately being accepted and rejected. We should of course give thanks for all the good things we receive, and that we can be saved from anxiety over the necessities of life. There can be a fine line between appreciating something and depending on it. Hough prays to sit lightly to whatever benefits he receives, and that he may have a spirit of resignation when a benefit is lost. We can imagine the experience behind this final thought. May we achieve such equanimity without the need for an experience like his! Born in 1651, John Hough studied at Magdalen College, Oxford, from which he graduated in 1676. He was elected Provost of the same college in 1687, but due to the opposition of King James II, the Court of Ecclesiastical Commission replaced him with Samuel Parker, Bishop of Oxford.

The Sergeant at Arms has law enforcement, protocol, and administrative responsibilities within the House.1 Initially established during the First Congress (1789-1791),2 the duties of the Sergeant at Arms are mandated in law, House rules, custom, and oversight by the House Committee on Appropriations and the Committee on House Administration in the exercise of their oversight roles. Additionally, the Sergeant at Arms’ portfolio complements the legislative and administrative operations of the Clerk of the House and the administrative functions of the Chief Administrative Officer.3 Election Process As an elected official of the House, the Sergeant at Arms is chosen by House Members on the first day of a new Congress. In general, the majority party introduces a resolution to elect the officers of the House, including the Sergeant at Arms. The slate of candidates is often chosen by the majority party leadership, sometimes with consultation with the minority. After the resolution’s introduction, the minority party typically offers an amendment to nominate their own slate of candidates for office. The vote to agree to the resolution is generally a party line vote.4 Interim Sergeant at Arms In four cases, the incumbent Sergeant at Arms resigned or died in office.
