  • Resignations and Removals: a History of Federal Judicial Service-And Disservice-1789-1992
    RESIGNATIONS AND REMOVALS: A HISTORY OF FEDERAL JUDICIAL SERVICE-AND DISSERVICE-1789-1992 EMILY FIELD VAN TASSEL- Thomas Jefferson's dismay over the failed impeachment of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Chase in 1805 led him later to complain that "impeachment is not even a scarecrow."1 Subse- quent events have proven Jefferson wrong. Although the full panoply of the impeachment process has been used rarely, its existence has given Congress an impressively big stick to wield in persuading miscreant judges to leave the bench.2 Since Jefferson's time, our experience has suggested two important conclusions about judicial discipline and removal. The first is that investigations, threats of investigations, and threats of impeachment can be very powerful tools in inducing judges to resign from office voluntarily. The second is that these tools have a great potential for misuse. Judicial independence is a core value supported by the constitu- tional structure of the federal judiciary. The appointment process, salary protection, and removal mechanism are all means to ensure that federal judges be independent and impartial in their decision- t Visiting Associate Professor, Widener University School of Law. This Article is dedicated to the memory of my brother, Dirck Van Tassel. An earlier version of this Article was prepared as a report to the National Commission onjudicial Discipline and Removal, while I was Associate Historian with the Federal judicial History Office of the Federal Judicial Center. The views and conclusions expressed in this Article are my own and do not necessarily represent the views of the FederalJudicial Center, which, on matters of policy, speaks only through its Board.

  • Presidents and Speakers of the Colorado General Assembly
    PRESIDENTS AND SPEAKERS OF THE COLORADO GENERAL ASSEMBLY A Biographical Portrait from 1876 Denver, Colorado 2016 Edition INTRODUCTION The Presidents and Speakers in this book are listed in chronological order by the years they held the office of President and/or Speaker. The President's term is four years and the Speaker's term is two years. Some of the Presidents and Speakers did not serve full terms, while others served more than one term. The first legislative session met from November 1, 1876, through March 20, 1877, and the succeeding sessions met every two years in the odd numbered years: 1879, 1881, 1883, etc., until 1950. Even though the Colorado General Assembly started to convene annually in 1950, the dates for the terms of office for both the President and Speaker begin on an odd-numbered year. Constitutional conventions and the transformation to statehood. As early as April of 1859, pioneers who had traveled to Cherry Creek in search of gold petitioned the United States Congress to create a territory for the area that would become Colorado. After a failed attempt to create the Territory of Jefferson, settlers in the gold fields remained under the jurisdiction of the Kansas Territory from 1859 to 1861. On February 26, 1861, Congress passed an organic act that established the Territory of Colorado. The new territory was constituted mainly from the western portion of the Kansas Territory, as well as smaller segments of the Nebraska, Utah, and New Mexico territories.
