    OFFICERS OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH OF THE GOVERNMENT [ 1 ] EXPLANATORY NOTE A Cabinet officer is not appointed for a fixed term and does not necessarily go out of office with the President who made the appointment. While it is customary to tender one’s resignation at the time a change of administration takes place, officers remain formally at the head of their department until a successor is appointed. Subordinates acting temporarily as heads of departments are not con- sidered Cabinet officers, and in the earlier period of the Nation’s history not all Cabinet officers were heads of executive departments. The names of all those exercising the duties and bearing the respon- sibilities of the executive departments, together with the period of service, are incorporated in the lists that follow. The dates immediately following the names of executive officers are those upon which commis- sions were issued, unless otherwise specifically noted. Where periods of time are indicated by dates as, for instance, March 4, 1793, to March 3, 1797, both such dates are included as portions of the time period. On occasions when there was a vacancy in the Vice Presidency, the President pro tem- pore is listed as the presiding officer of the Senate. The Twentieth Amendment to the Constitution (effective Oct. 15, 1933) changed the terms of the President and Vice President to end at noon on the 20th day of January and the terms of Senators and Representatives to end at noon on the 3d day of January when the terms of their successors shall begin. [ 2 ] EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, 1789–2005 First Administration of GEORGE WASHINGTON APRIL 30, 1789, TO MARCH 3, 1793 PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES—GEORGE WASHINGTON, of Virginia.

Fortunately, my predecessor, Secretary Don Hodel, had come to realize that many new employees-I'm not sure he had Secretaries in mind-could profit from a good orientation to the Department and its many responsibilities. Secretary Hodel had commissioned the completion of a Department history, begun some 15 years earlier, so that newcomers and others interested in the Department could better understand what it is and how it got that way. This slim volume is the result. In it you will find the keys to understanding a most complex subject--an old line Federal Department. v This concise explanation of Interior's growth was begun by then Na­ tional Park Service historian Robert M.

    REPORT OF A VISIT TO THE SIOUX AND PONKA INDIANS ON THE MISSOURI RIVER, MADE BY WM. WELSH. JULY, 1872. [text] PHILADELPHIA: M'CALLA & STAVEY, PRINTERS, N.E. COR. SIXTH AND COMMERCE STS. 1872 [2] blankpage [3] DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 10th, 1872 DEAR SIR: I have received, and read with great satisfaction, your valuable and interesting Report of the 8th instant, in regard to the Indian Agencies that have been assigned to the board of Missions of the Protestant Episcopal Church. I have not time to refer to it in detail, but I wish to say that the facts which you have presented, and the suggestions made, are of great value to our Indian Service, and I trust the Report will have a wide circulation. I feel sure that this report will strengthen the faith of all right minded persons, and create new zeal in the breasts of those who believe that truth, justice and humanity, are sure to be rewarded by Omnipotence. I am, very truely yours, C. DELANO, HON. WILLIAM WELSH, Secretary Philadelphia, Pa [4] blank page [5] PHILADELPHIA, July 8th, 1872. TO THE HON. COLUMBUS DELANO, Secretary of the Interior, Washington: MY DEAR SIR: I returned to this city on the 4th inst., after spending more than six weeks in an official visitation to most of the Indian Agencies, that were, about eighteen months since, placed by the United States Government, under the control of the Board of Missions of the Protestant Episcopal Church. Although my visitation was made at the request of that Missionary Board, yet as the Church is merely the representative of the Government in nominating and supervising Indian Agents, there is an obvious propriety in making a semi-official report to you, especially as governmental action is asked for.

  • Executive Power and Republicanism: the Battle to Define Ulysses S
    Executive Power and Republicanism: The Battle to Define Ulysses S. Grant’s Presidency 1868-1880 Annabelle Frances Grenville-Mathers Submitted for the fulfilment of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History March 2015 1 2 Thesis Summary This thesis situates the presidency of Ulysses S. Grant (1869-1877) and the attempts to provide him with a third term in the republican political culture of Reconstruction. Exploring the period through the lens of the press, pamphlets, and archival material, it shows how republican ideas – especially hostility to partisan politics and fear of concentrated power – in the era had the capacity to both augment and detract from the president’s ability to secure the post-war settlement. Early interpretations of Grant’s presidency, written by scholars often hostile to Reconstruction, accused him of overzealous support for African-American civil rights. In contrast, revisionists blamed Reconstruction’s failure in part on Grant’s weak administration. However, when viewed through the prism of the republican political culture of the era, it is possible to see how Grant’s presidency could be simultaneously strong and weak. Republicanism enabled the portrayal of Grant as both a model republican and a tyrant- in-waiting. This thesis argues that the very qualities which made him a strong president – his antipartisanship, self-sacrifice, and honour – gave Grant the independence and support which many feared would be the undoing of the republic. Republicanism had the power to define the parameters of the possible during Reconstruction. With the federal government in tumult and the boundaries of presidential power undefined, Americans’ fears over the safety of their liberties helped shape what could be achieved during Reconstruction.

Hieb n the fi rst of March 1876, photographer John K. “Jack” Hillers and Otopographer Olin D. Wheeler arrived at the Moqui (Hopi) Pueblo Indian Agency in Arizona, where they met Edward S. Merritt, the teacher and unoffi cial clerk. Under directions from the Smithsonian Institution’s Bureau of Ethnology director John Wesley Powell, Hillers and Wheeler visited the Hopi villages to collect “tangible tokens” of Hopi culture for the Centennial Exhibition opening on 10 May 1876 in Philadelphia. The U.S. Indian agent for the Moqui, William B. Truax, accompanied them from Fort Wingate, New Mexico, to the Hopi villages. Thirty years later, in October 1906, Wheeler published an account of his experiences, titled “In the Land of the Moki,” in an issue of Talisman magazine.

The topic herein discussed is the life of Jacob Dolson Cox, an admirable, aloof man of integrity who pursued a great number of activities in many fields and became a leader in each. He did so through the force of his character, his marked intellectual abilities, and his rigorous sense of duty. Yet he has not received in the past due credit for his role in shaping American politics, education, science, and railroad policies during and after the Civil War. At least in part that is because Cox was not prone to seek publicity or recognition for himself. In this study the author hopes to redress that balance and give him due credit for being an influential personage in American life from 1858 to I 9 0 0. In pursuing that goal the author has had the invaluable aid of a great many people, a ll of whom gave generously and graciously of their time to help me to gain a better understanding of both Jacob D.

HE purpose of this work is to collate, preserve and sum­ marize for the student, scholar, historian, librarian and collector, the literature of Ohio in any wise connected with the Civil War, meaning thereby all permanent publications on that subject, either in book or pamphlet form. So far, therefore, as years of persistent investigation and patient reading could accomplish, I have collected in these pages a bib­ liography, the scope of which embraces (i) the publications of Ohio writers concerning the Civil War, and (2) the writings of others in relation to Ohio in the Civil War. In the broader fields of history, biography and science, scholars have been more or less successful in listing the sources of published information on those subjects in bibliographies, but this w-ork is the first attempt to systematize and preserve the lit­ erature of the Civil War of any State of the Union.

Christopher R. Green * ABSTRACT Kurt T. Lash’s The Fourteenth Amendment and the Privileges and Immunities of American Citizenship (2014) defends the view that the Fourteenth Amendment’s “privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States” cover only rights enumer- ated elsewhere in the Constitution. My own book, however, Equal Citizenship, Civil Rights, and the Constitution: The Original Sense of the Privileges or Immunities Clause (2015), reads the Clause to guarantee equality broadly among similarly situated citi- zens of the United States. Incorporation of an enumerated right into the Fourteenth Amendment requires, I say, national consensus such that an outlier state’s invasion of the right would produce inequality among citizens of the United States. Lash and I agree about a great deal, but this Article provides a focused explanation of the clash between our two books.

Otto under contract for the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) under the auspices of the Campus Development Team in the National Capital Region of the Public Buildings Service. It fulfills one of the stipulations of a programmatic agreement executed by GSA pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 on December 9, 2008 for the development of the west campus of St. Elizabeths Hospital. St. Elizabeths Hospital is a National Historic Landmark and a D.C. Historic Landmark in southeast Washington, D.C.

Acknowledgements I wish to thank the many people who helped make this history of St. Elizabeths possible. First and foremost, Shapour Ebadi, Frank Palermo, Bonnie Echoles, and Harry Debes ensured that the project had the resources it needed to get off the ground and stuck with it until it was completed. Beth Savage and Nancy Witherell provided crucial support and guidance along the way. Nancy was particularly helpful throughout the research and writing process with thoughtful feedback and encouragement to keep it moving in the right direction. Tim Dennée in the D.C.

Frances McMillen was a helpful comrade-in-arms who offered many useful tips and perhaps one of the most important citations in the text.
