Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment also states that "No person shall be... elector of President or Vice-President... who, having previously taken an oath... to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. Congress may be a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability." These requirements are included in state law at Indiana Code 3-8-1-6(b). Q3: How does a person become a candidate to be chosen as a presidential elector in Indiana? Three political parties (Democratic, Libertarian, and Republican) have their presidential and vice- presidential candidates placed on Indiana ballots after their party's national convention.

Leader (1918-2013), a native of York, Pennsylvania, rose from the anonymous status of chicken farmer's son and Gettysburg College undergraduate to become, first a State Senator, and then the 36th governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. A steadfast liberal in a traditionally conservative state, Leader spent his brief time in the governor's office (1955-1959) fighting uphill battles and blazing courageous trails. He overhauled the state's corrupt patronage system; streamlined and humanized its mental health apparatus; and, when a black family moved into the white enclave of Levittown, took a brave stand in favor of integration.

Our opposition party has many troubles. Time does not permit me to list them all. One of its troubles is that it doesn't understand us. The Democratic Party is just too modern, too lively, and too active for our opposition to understand. For the old Republican Party, our Democratic Party is a mysterious contraption that usually seems to them to be moving in a thousand directions at once. Imagine how confusing that must be for a party that knows only three positions: standing still, spinning counter­ clockwise, and moving backward. In this instance, it is what they don't know that hurts them.

  • Wisconsin Briefs Reference Bureau
    from the Legislative Wisconsin Briefs Reference Bureau Brief 95-10 December 1995 WHO ARE THE CANDIDATES? The 1996 Wisconsin Presidential Preference Primary I. INTRODUCTION On March 19, 1996, Wisconsin voters will express their choices among the various candi­ dates seeking the presidential nomination of their respective national political parties. Wis­ consin has played an influential role in presidential selection over the years, and the 1995 Leg­ islature advanced the date of the spring election, which includes the 1996 presidential preference primary, by three weeks from the first Tuesday in April to the third Tuesday in March in response to similar action by other states. The Wisconsin presidential preference primary is an "open" primary. In other words, Wisconsin does not require voters to identify or declare a party affiliation when casting their ballots. Although in 1984 the Democratic National Committee refused to seat the convention delegates chosen in Wisconsin's open primary and required party caucuses to select the dele­ gates, it reversed its decision in 1988. This reversal was based on enactment of 1985 WISconsin Act 304, which allows political parties complete freedom to select any number of delegates on any basis they choose. The 1996 presidential primary, therefore, is advisory and not binding on the parties. This brief describes the procedure for developing the ballot, and, as has been the practice since 1968, it provides materials to assist the nominating committee in its task of identifying possible presidential candidates. II. THE NOMINATION PROCESS Preparation of the presidential preference primary ballot normally begins with the con­ vening of a presidential preference nominating committee on the last Tuesday in January to determine the candidates whose names will appear on the ballot.

    Governor Wolf’s First Year A Comparative Analysis PAULA A. DUDA HOLOVIAK Kutztown University THOMAS J. BALDINO Wilkes University Tom Wolf’s first year as governor was dominated by the challenges of reaching a budget compromise with the Republican- dominated General Assembly. This article provides an overview of the difficulties and accomplishments of the first year of the Wolf administration. The article draws a historical comparison with seven other governors—Leader, Scranton, Shafer, Shapp, Thornburg, Rendell, and Corbett—four Republicans and three Democrats, and it concludes with some observations drawn from these previous governors’ experiences that may inform the Wolf administration as it navigates its remaining years. y the end of 2015, approximately 30% of the public rated Governor Tom Wolf’s performance either good or excellent. But should the Bpublic’s approval rating be the only assessment of the Wolf adminis- tration’s first year in office? To evaluate his achievements, we need to assess objectively and carefully his accomplishments from both a legislative and managerial perspective and to compare them to his original list of first- year goals. Moreover, Governor Wolf’s performance must be placed in a context that allows for comparison with previous governors, as it is important to understand the political, social, and economic environments in which a chief executive governs.
