    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.

  • The “Little Navy” Faction in the House of Representatives: Opposition to Naval Expansion 1913-1916 Stephen Svonavec
    The “Little Navy” Faction in the House of Representatives: Opposition to Naval Expansion 1913-1916 Stephen Svonavec Les membres du parti Démocratique, propre au Président Woodrow Wilson des États-Unis, se sont opposés à l'expansion de la marine même à un moment où les États-Unis devaient protéger leur neutralité dans la Première Guerre mondiale. Le raisonnement du groupe de la "petite marine" comprenait les soucis budgétaires et l'engagement vers la paix à travers le désarmement. Leur opposition se composait de républicains, partisans de la "grande marine" tels le sénateur Henry Cabot Lodge du Massachusetts et le démocrate "grande marine" Richmond Hobson de l'Alabama. Tandis que les avocats de la "grande marine" gagnaient finalement la bataille congressionnelle, les circonstances ont empêché d'établir le genre de marine qu'ils avaient envisagée. Après l'entrée en guerre des États-Unis en avril 1917, la nécessité n'était plus pour des cuirassés, mais pour de plus petits navires protègeant le commerce contre la campagne dévastatrice des U-boot allemands. Il est ironique qu'en dépit de la défaite de la faction "petite marine", le gouvernement des États-Unis a préconisé et réalisé leurs buts aux conférences de désarmement naval d'après-guerre. In the years preceding American involvement in World War I, the naval policy debate in the United States focused on how to proceed with the expansion program championed by the administration of Theodore Roosevelt and continued, albeit with less executive support, under President William Taft. The administration of Woodrow Wilson initially adopted a cautious and moderate position, with Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels lobbying for modest annual increases in the size of the fleet.

  • William L. Andersen. “To Rescue the Fair Fame and Good Name of North Carolina”: a History of the Colonial Records of North Carolina
    William L. Andersen. “To Rescue the Fair Fame and Good Name of North Carolina”: A History of The Colonial Records of North Carolina. A Master’s Paper for the M.S. in L.S degree. April 2010. 66 pages. Advisor: Katherine M. Wisser Publication of The Colonial Records of North Carolina between 1886 and 1890 was significant as the culmination of a long series of nineteenth-century efforts to preserve and make available the source materials of early Tar Heel history, and as the crucial factor in the establishment of a central archival agency, the North Carolina Historical Commission, at the turn of the twentieth century. The result of a strong impulse that combined southern Lost Cause ideology with traditional local pride and the deep-seated patriotic desire to vindicate the reputation of the state, the Colonial Records remains, despite its limitations, a signal achievement. This paper traces the origins of the series in antebellum attempts to collect and publish the documentary heritage of the state, and follows the development of the postwar editorial project—including the identification and transcription of relevant state papers in the British Public Record Office in order to fill in gaps in the archives at home—under the guidance of William L. Saunders. Headings: Saunders, William Laurence, 1835-1891. Colonial records of North Carolina. North Carolina -- History -- Colonial period, ca. 1600-1775 -- Sources.
