The first floor leaders were formally designated in 1920 (Democrats) and 1925 (Republicans). The Senate Republican and Democratic floor leaders are elected by the members of their party in the Senate at the beginning of each Congress. Depending on which party is in power, one serves as majority leader and the other as minority leader. The leaders serve as spokespersons for their parties' positions on issues. The majority leader schedules the daily legislative program and fashions the unanimous consent agreements that govern the time for debate. The majority leader has the right to be called upon first if several senators are seeking recognition by the presiding officer, which enables him to offer motions or amendments before any other senator. Majority and Minority Leaders Elected at the beginning of each Congress by members of their respective party conferences to represent them on the Senate floor, the majority and minority leaders serve as spokesmen for their parties' positions on the issues. The majority leader has also come to speak for the Senate as an institution. Working with the committee chairs and ranking members, the majority leader schedules business on the floor by calling bills from the calendar and keeps members of his party advised about the daily legislative program.

  • Picking the Vice President
    Picking the Vice President Elaine C. Kamarck Brookings Institution Press Washington, D.C. Contents Introduction 4 1 The Balancing Model 6 The Vice Presidency as an “Arranged Marriage” 2 Breaking the Mold 14 From Arranged Marriages to Love Matches 3 The Partnership Model in Action 20 Al Gore Dick Cheney Joe Biden 4 Conclusion 33 Copyright 36 Introduction Throughout history, the vice president has been a pretty forlorn character, not unlike the fictional vice president Julia Louis-Dreyfus plays in the HBO seriesVEEP . In the first episode, Vice President Selina Meyer keeps asking her secretary whether the president has called. He hasn’t. She then walks into a U.S. senator’s office and asks of her old colleague, “What have I been missing here?” Without looking up from her computer, the senator responds, “Power.” Until recently, vice presidents were not very interesting nor was the relationship between presidents and their vice presidents very consequential—and for good reason. Historically, vice presidents have been understudies, have often been disliked or even despised by the president they served, and have been used by political parties, derided by journalists, and ridiculed by the public. The job of vice president has been so peripheral that VPs themselves have even made fun of the office. That’s because from the beginning of the nineteenth century until the last decade of the twentieth century, most vice presidents were chosen to “balance” the ticket. The balance in question could be geographic—a northern presidential candidate like John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts picked a southerner like Lyndon B.

STILL A ROCK PARTY In the 2000 film The Contender, Senator Lane Hanson, por- trayed by Joan Allen, explains what catalyzed her switch from the Grand Old Party ("GOP") to the Democratic side of the aisle. During her dramatic Senate confirmation hearing for vice-presi- dent, she laments that "The Republican Party had shifted from the ideals I cherished in my youth." She lists those cherished ideals as "a woman's right to choose, taking guns out of every home, campaign finance reform, and the separation of church and state." Although this statement reflects Hollywood's usual penchant for oversimplification, her point con- cerning the recession of moderation in Republican ranks is still ap- ropos.

  • Post-Presidential Papers, 1961-69 1964 PRINCIPAL FILE Series
    EISENHOWER, DWIGHT D.: Post-Presidential Papers, 1961-69 1964 PRINCIPAL FILE Series Description The 1964 Principal File, which was the main office file for Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Gettysburg Office, is divided into two subseries--a subject file and an alphabetical file. The subject subseries consists of a little over twenty-three boxes of material, and it is arranged alphabetically by subject. This subseries contains such categories as appointments, autographs, endorsements, gifts, invitations, memberships, memoranda, messages, political affairs, publications, statements, and trips. Invitations generated the greatest volume of correspondence, followed by appointments, messages, and gifts. Documentation in this subseries includes correspondence, schedules, agendas, articles, memoranda, transcripts of interviews, and reports. The alphabetical subseries, which has a little over thirty-four boxes, is arranged alphabetically by names of individuals and organizations. It is primarily a correspondence file, but it also contains printed materials, speeches, cross-reference sheets, interview transcripts, statements, clippings, and photographs. During 1964 Eisenhower was receiving correspondence from the public at the rate of over fifty thousand letters a year. This placed considerable strain on Eisenhower and his small office staff, and many requests for appointments, autographs, speeches, endorsements, and special messages met with a negative response. Although the great bulk of the correspondence in this series involves routine matters, there are considerable letters and memoranda which deal with national and international issues, events, and personalities. Some of the subjects discussed in Eisenhower’s correspondence include the 1964 presidential race, NATO, the U.S. space program, the U. S. economy, presidential inability and succession, defense policies, civil rights legislation, political extremists, and Cuba.

  • A Picnic for a President—In 24 Hours Or Less
    A Picnic for a President—in 24 Hours or Less By Audrey Coleman, Associate Director of the Dole Institute of Politics and Director of the Dole Institute Archives and Museum Originally Aired 10/1/2020 One August night in 1976, the Russell High School band rehearsed Hail to the Chief, United Telephone Company laid miles of press phone lines, Community members wrangled up all area chips, hot dogs, BBQ grills, grillmeisters and 40 cases of pop in a water tank on ice. Highway patrolmen from all over northcentral Kansas were temporarily reassigned to Russell. At the eleventh hour, it was decided what the set-up really needed was bleachers. Kansas City’s Kemper Arena had just played host to what would become the last contested convention of a major political party. In the wee hours of August 19, 1976 Gerald Ford, the newly selected Republican nominee for President who had just narrowly defeated challenger Ronald Reagan, gathered his people to select his #2 man, the Vice Presidential nominee. Surprising most pundits – and the nominee himself – Ford selected US Senator from Kansas Bob Dole, who accepted the President’s invitation on one condition – that they kick off their campaign in Dole’s hometown of Russell. “We don’t want anything formal,” Ford staffers told Russell officials over the phone later that day, “a ‘homecoming’ for Bob Dole, with everyone welcome.” The President’s men descended on Russell with secret service at 3:00 that afternoon. Less than 24 hours later, the President and his Vice Presidential candidate arrived in town. It was noon on a sunny Friday, August 20, and they were greeted by a crowd of 1,000s – or, as one newspaper account put it, half the total population of the county.

Consequently, it may be at variance at some points with the original audio recording. This is the only interview recorded with the Taggarts for the Robert J. Dole Oral History Project. Reference to a prior interview is misleading and refers to a meeting we had with the Taggarts before this interview.—BW] Williams: This is an oral history interview with Bill Taggart for the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics at the University of Kansas. We’re in the Taggart residence in Arlington, VA. Today is July 18, 2007 and I’m Brien Williams. We’re also joined by Bill’s wife, Judy, who’s at the table, and by my wife who’s working on this project with me, Carol Ruppel. So, Bill, let’s start with just a little about your family roots—where they came from and how they got to Kansas. Taggart: Well, we assume they were part of the Mac Taggart clan out of Scotland. How they came to the United States we don’t know.

  • Bob Dole's Age and Health in the 1996 Election: Did the Media Let Us Down? Political Science Quarterly, Fall98, Vol
    Title: Bob Dole's Age and Health in the 1996 Election: Did the Media Let Us Down? Political Science Quarterly, Fall98, Vol. 113 Issue 3, p471, 21p The age of Senator Robert Dole, the oldest man ever to run for the presidency, was a substantive issue in the election of 1996. But was it influential in the minds of the electorate as they cast their ballots? We consider in this article the association of aging with the likelihood of illness and of significant cognitive change. We also examine the risk factors revealed by Senator Dole's personal and family medical history. To determine how much of this information was available to the public, we analyze media content on these subjects across the election year. We then trace the sources of the public's assessment of whether Dole's age and health would affect his performance as president and whether this judgment, in turn, affected the likelihood of voting for him. The election took place against a background of many years of hype on the pleasures of joining the ranks of the elderly.[sup1] This heady mix has gone well beyond longer life expectancy to include better health, more security, and the joys of the new passage. Ill health, disability, memory loss, poverty, and all of the afflictions of old age are somehow set aside in the thrust to paint a romantic picture of seniors that unfortunately corresponds to the reality for only a fraction of the group. It is true that the life span is steadily increasing. In 1900, life expectancy in the United States at birth was 47 years, while in 1997 it is 76.[sup2] The proportion of the population 65 years of age or older will virtually double by 2030, to reach the staggering figure of 20 percent.
