  • Speakers of the House: Elections, 1913-2021
    Speakers of the House: Elections, 1913-2021 Updated January 25, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov RL30857 Speakers of the House: Elections, 1913-2021 Summary Each new House elects a Speaker by roll call vote when it first convenes. Customarily, the conference of each major party nominates a candidate whose name is placed in nomination. A Member normally votes for the candidate of his or her own party conference but may vote for any individual, whether nominated or not. To be elected, a candidate must receive an absolute majority of all the votes cast for individuals. This number may be less than a majority (now 218) of the full membership of the House because of vacancies, absentees, or Members answering “present.” This report provides data on elections of the Speaker in each Congress since 1913, when the House first reached its present size of 435 Members. During that period (63rd through 117th Congresses), a Speaker was elected six times with the votes of less than a majority of the full membership. If a Speaker dies or resigns during a Congress, the House immediately elects a new one. Five such elections occurred since 1913. In the earlier two cases, the House elected the new Speaker by resolution; in the more recent three, the body used the same procedure as at the outset of a Congress. If no candidate receives the requisite majority, the roll call is repeated until a Speaker is elected. Since 1913, this procedure has been necessary only in 1923, when nine ballots were required before a Speaker was elected.

  • January 1, 2021 the Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker 1236
    January 1, 2021 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Speaker Minority Leader 1236 Longworth House Office Building 2468 Rayburn House Office Building U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Minority Leader McCarthy: We write today in support of the existing Capitol Police Board regulations that have helped protect Members for more than 50 years and ask that you not include any provisions in the House Rules package that attempt to alter these protections. Currently, Members of Congress are allowed to carry firearms within the U.S. Capitol Complex as a result of U.S. Capitol Police Board’s regulations and 40 U.S.C. § 5104. The current regulations allowing Members of Congress to carry have helped protect these Members and their Second Amendment rights since 1967. There are substantial precedents for this type of regulation throughout the U.S. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, more than two dozen states allow guns in capitol buildings. Of those states, “nine permit ‘open carry,’ 13 allow firearms owners with permits to carry and four allow legislators or legislative staff to carry in the capitol.’” Washington, D.C. has a violent crime problem and D.C.'s violent crime rate is 158% higher than the national average. In 2020 alone, there have been more than 180 homicides, more than 1,500 assaults with a deadly weapon, and more than 1,800 robberies. Furthermore, there is a history of violent attacks on Members of Congress and Capitol Police.

  • Letter to Kentucky's Congressional
    Letter to Kentucky’s Congressional Delegation on Behalf of Kentucky’s Nonprofits: Act Now on Relief June 1, 2020 Senator Mitch McConnell Congressman Andy Barr Senator Rand Paul Congressman James Comer Congressman Brett Guthrie Congressman Thomas Massie Congressman Hal Rogers Congressman John Yarmuth Senators McConnell, Paul and Representatives Barr, Comer, Guthrie, Massie, Rogers, Yarmuth: On behalf of the undersigned Kentucky nonprofit organizations, we urge you to act on a bipartisan basis to advance legislation providing relief for the essential needs of Kentuckians and our economy. Thank you for your efforts so far to help sustain our communities through the COVID-19 pandemic. Nonprofit organizations represent 10% of Kentucky’s workforce and your support of our work and the Kentuckians we serve is appreciated. We are writing to share the attached letter Kentucky Nonprofit Network and 44 Lexington organizations submitted to Lexington’s Urban County Council to reiterate the enormous challenge facing (or will soon face) every city and county in Kentucky, as well as the Commonwealth. We need action now to avoid other local governments from copying Lexington’s proposal to completely eliminate government partnerships with nonprofit organizations working to meet community needs and serve our most vulnerable neighbors – especially when citizens need nonprofits the most. This action not only poses a great threat to Lexington, it is a dangerous trend that we must not let play out in other communities across Kentucky. Proposed cuts and well-intentioned, yet ill-conceived “fundraising” campaigns by government officials like we’ve seen in Lexington, create a distraction for nonprofit organizations that they simply cannot afford.
