  • Italians Vs. Themselves: the Rocky Path to Political Empowerment in Metropolitan Chicago
    James Scalzitti ILP for H4 Competence Summer - Fall, 2014 Italians vs. Themselves: The Rocky Path to Political Empowerment in Metropolitan Chicago Italian Americans have been part of Chicago since before it was incorporated as a city, and for at least the past half century there have been Italian Americans throughout the ranks of government in the city and its suburbs. While there has been a significant Italian presence in the Chicago area for much of its history — with numerous neighborhoods and suburbs identified as “Italian;” dozens of festivals celebrating the ancestral homes of these immigrants; and certainly the annual Columbus Day Parade, during which politicians of all backgrounds jostle for position at the front of the line of march — the same ethnic pride that gives the metropolitan area a robust Italian cultural flavor hasn’t translated into commensurate political power. My task for this project, defined by the competency requirements, was to analyze the power relations between at least two racial, social or cultural groups in the United States. The main group that I wanted to focus on is the Chicago-area Italian-American community. By employing both theoretical and qualitative research, I explored how they have risen to positions of political power over the last century, and what obstacles they have encountered along the way. I also endeavored to uncover their current state of political influence and what that can tell us about their political future in the metropolitan area. That being decided, I still needed to identify that “other” group to which I would compare and contrast the Italian-American community.

  • The President's Agenda: Domestic Policy Choice from Kennedy to Reagan
    THE PRESIDENT’S AGENDA: POSITION-TAKING, LEGISLATIVE SUPPORT, AND THE PERSISTENCE OF TIME DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By William D. Anderson, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Janet M. Box-Steffensmeier, Adviser Professor Kathleen McGraw Professor Herbert Weisberg Adviser Political Science Graduate Program Copyright by William D. Anderson 2005 ABSTRACT The president’s agenda and Congress’s support for the president’s programs are key drivers in American public policy and electoral politics. The study of presidential- legislative relations, however, lacks a broad and rigorous treatment of the normal legislative process, from initial presidential position taking on votes before the House to final veto override votes cast by Congress. This dissertation broadly examines two stages of the normal legislative process, presidential position-taking and House support for the president’s positions, using a data set consisting of more than 3,200 House votes representing the first terms of the Carter through Clinton administrations. The dissertation suggests that three temporal contexts— regime time; political, or intra administration time; and policymaking or discrete time— prominently shape the politics of presidential position taking and legislative support for the president. My analysis then employs a series of uniquely constructed variables to account for the personal and external context within which the president legislates and attempts to persuade members of the House. By doing so, this dissertation tests the degree to which the legislative or executive branch dominates the policy process.

    The Erosion of “Regular Order” in the U.S. House: A Historical Examination of Special Rules1 Michael S. Lynch University of Georgia [email protected] Anthony J. Madonna University of Georgia [email protected] Allison S. Vick University of Georgia [email protected] August 25, 2019 1 Paper prepared for the 2019 Annual Meeting of the American Political Science Association in Washington, DC. The authors would like to thank Alyssa Achiron, Ari Anderson, Destiny Burch, Mathilde Carpet, Christina Chu, Sarah Ensley, James Everson, Patrick Femia, Christopher Ferguson, Lillian Holmes, Brooke Intlekofer, Mariliz Kastberg-Leonard, Caitlyn Kinard, Michael Klein, Andrew Lance, Zachary McDowell, Ellie McQuaig, Ansley Mobley, Susan Murley, Alexandria Pinckney, Spencer Pipkin, Kelsey Pruitt, Zachary Taylor, Jillian Tracy and Jaaie Varshney for their research assistance. All errors remain the authors. Introduction In October of 2015, Rep. Paul D. Ryan (R-WI) was elected Speaker of the House. Among other promises, Ryan pledged to allow more floor amendments through open processes and to return the House to “regular order” (DeBonis 2015). Ryan’s predecessor, Former-Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), had been aggressively criticized by members of both parties for his usage of special rules to bar amendments. Despite his optimism, many were skeptical Ryan would be able to deliver on his open rule promises (see e.g. Reynolds 2015). This skepticism appeared to be warranted. By May of 2018, Speaker Ryan and the 115th Congress had broken the record for the most closed rules in congressional history (McPherson 2018). Ryan’s promise reflected the important role played by rules in legislative bodies.

  • 1975 *I989 the Post-Reform Committee
    1975 *I989 The Post-Reform Committee The congressional reforms of the 1970s resulted in an enlarged com. mittee, one in which partisanship replaced the bipartisan consensus oi the previous period. These developments made the committee more difficult to lead, a situation that was compounded by the open anc permissive leadership style of Chairman Al Ullman (19’75-1981).
