  • Trump Success? Conventional Measures in the Era of an Unconventional President
    Trump Success? Conventional Measures in the Era of an Unconventional President Jon R. Bond Texas A&M University [email protected] and Manny Teodoro Texas A&M University [email protected] Prepared for Presentation at the 115th Annual Meeting & Exhibition of the American Political Science Association August 29 – September 1, 2019 Washington, DC Trump Success? Conventional Measures in the Era of an Unconventional President Abstract Conventional indicators reported in CQ’s 2017 Presidential Support Study show that President Trump racked up a “Record Success Rate”, winning 100 percent of House votes on which he expressed a position. Although presidency scholars have long recognized that winning roll call votes is not an indication of presidential influence, Trump’s unconventional style and his willful ignorance of Congress and basic details of the policies he “supports” lead us to question whether the results of roll call votes should even be interpreted as presidential success. Including this unconventional president in the study of a still small n of presidents requires innovative indicators that do not rely exclusively on traditional Presidential Support Scores that compare members on a static zero to 100 scale. Taking cues from FiveThirtyEight and from the field of sabermetrics, this paper presents two novel metrics that estimate whether House members’ support for the 11 elected presidents from Eisenhower to Trump is higher or lower than should be expected relative to differing political conditions. One metric, Support Above Expectations (SAE), estimates whether members’ presidential support is higher or lower than should be expected given electoral conditions, partisanship, polarization. This metric builds on 538’s “Trump plus-minus” score.

    Jamie Whitten Collection Series 17: Recordings Recordings in the Jamie Whitten Collection include government and special interest documentaries, campaign broadcasts and commercials, speeches, television and radio interviews and appearances, public service announcements, coverage of the House floor, and television programs on political issues. The collection has five LP records, six 78rpm records, seventy-five reel-to-reels, thirty-eight cassette tapes, eleven 16mm films, four one-inch quad tapes, fifty-seven Umatic tapes, and ninety-four video cassette tapes. For preservation reasons, the original recordings are stored in a climate-controlled facility, and access is restricted.

In 2010, the Institute of Museum and Library Services awarded a $450,000 grant to the University of Mississippi to preserve and digitize all the recordings in the Modern Political Archives. This grant permitted the archives to digitize a large segment of recordings in the Whitten Collection by May 2011. Any views, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed here do not necessarily represent those of the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Not all of the recordings are accessible on the web due to copyright. Researchers may only review restricted recordings via onsite computer terminals in the J.D. Williams Library.

  • John William Mccormack, ” in Kenneth T
    Sources A note on sources Th is is the fi rst ever full-length biography of John W. McCormack, 1891 – 1980, who at the time of his death weeks from his 89th birthday was then the second longest-lived Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. McCormack was one of the very few political leaders who openly resisted a biography written about him even going so far as to repeatedly warn his offi ce staff about preparing a manuscript of their service with him. As Dr Martin Sweig, his longtime assistant once contended to me, “ John McCormack was the most secretive man I ever met. ” Consequently, the search for sources documenting his life and political career had to go well beyond his apparently sanitized congressional papers located at Boston University ’ s Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center. Secretiveness also characterized many of John McCormack’s South Boston constituents. South Boston had been the focus of negative press during the school busing crisis of the 1970s and the Southies were not eager to share information with an outsider like myself. I lived in South Boston for a few months and traveled frequently to that unique peninsula. During that time, I learned many McCormack family stories, most of which were about Knocko and his sons Jocko and Eddie but very few were about John. Most of those sources refused to let me name them in print but the stories were too revealing to excise from the book so they are included in spite of many not able to be fully fact-checked.
