SAINT LOUIS UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW CONGRESS: DOES IT ABDICATE ITS POWER?* ** ADDRESS OF THOMAS F. EAGLETON I. INTRODUCTION “Original Intent,” just what do these words mean? Justice Clarence Thomas1 often uses these two words — likewise, with the Wall Street Journal2 and Rush Limbaugh.3 Senate and House members resort to these words when it is convenient to do so.4 Today — just for today — I find it convenient to argue in favor of “original intent.” Today, I want to praise our Founding Fathers and argue that we should follow the letter and spirit of what they expressed in the Constitution with respect to how our nation goes to war. Today I am the Gabriel of original intent. II. THE CONSTITUTION Article I authorizes Congress, among other things, to “provide for the common defense;”5 to “declare war;”6 to “make rules for the government and regulation of land and naval forces;”7 to raise armies and navies;8 to make all * Originally published at 19 ST. -

If a President dies during the campaign - Hauenstein Center for Presidential Studies - Gra... Page 1 of 1 If a President dies during a campaign What would happen if the president died during a campaign for re-election? And has this ever happened? John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963, at the start of the 1964 presidential race. (In fact, he was in Texas to shore up support among wobbly Southern Democrats, who distrusted Massachusetts liberals.) But Kennedy had not yet been officially renominated by his party. That, more precisely, is what I believe your question is getting at. The fact is, death has never struck down a renominated president campaigning for re-election. It happened to a vice president shortly before the election in 1912, when William Taft's running mate, incumbent Vice President James Sherman, died of Bright's Disease. Just days later, Taft went on to lose the election to Woodrow Wilson, so it didn't matter that there wasn't a VP candidate. -

Thank you to my Academic Advisor who guided me through the process and kept me on track despite numerous hurdles both big and small. iii ABSTRACT Hargraves, Lisbeth A. The Nimitz Graybook: How the United States Naval War College Influenced the Pacific Campaign During World War II. Master of Arts (History), May, 2020, Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, Texas. The Nimitz Graybook is an eight-volume collection of the command decisions of Fleet Admiral Nimitz. The collection covers the everyday tasking of commanders, communications and every major decision in the United States Naval Pacific Campaign from December 7, 1941 through August 31, 1945. The entire eight volume series was digitized in 2014 but scholarly research on the four-thousand-page collection has been limited to this date. While it is difficult to accurately link the effect of professional military education to the outcome of real-world battles there are some instances where this can be done. -
