The Partnership For A More Perfect Union at the Congressional Management Foundation 513 Capitol Court NE, Suite 300 Washington, DC 20002 202-546-0100 cmfweb.org pmpu.org Introduction “We in America do not have government by the majority. We have government by the majority who participate.” That statement by Thomas Jefferson is a commentary on citizens’ right to “petition the government for a redress of grievances.” Effective communications and interactions between citizens and elected officials are essential to the democratic process, both to sustain the credibility of government and to maintain a free flow of ideas which can be integrated into policy decisions. However, since the introduction of the Internet, maintaining that free flow has been a challenge both for Congress and citizens. Congressional offices are overwhelmed with the significant increase in volume and the diversity of delivery methods used by advocate organizations. On the other hand, citizens and the advocacy community have been frustrated by the myriad of technological tools utilized by offices to authenticate that actual constituents are sending messages, yet result in technological and “user interface” obstacles to communications.

  • The Tea Party in Congress: Examining Voting Trends on Defense and International Trade Spending Legislation
    The Tea Party in Congress: Examining Voting Trends on Defense and International Trade Spending Legislation Peter Ganz Creighton University I test how members of the United States House of Representatives associated with the Tea Party movement vote on four pieces of legislation relating to Both defense and international trade spending. Members with high FreedomWorKs scores, an interest group rating associated with the Tea Party, were found to have distinctly different voting patterns than the House of Representatives in general, while representatives that self-identified themselves as Tea Party showed no distinct voting patterns. Ganz 1 Research Question Since the Tea Party’s emergence in American politics in 2009 and its role in the Republican taKeover of Congress in the 2010 midterm elections, political scientists, politicians, media outlets, and special interest groups have sought to understand exactly what maKes the movement unique. While those associated with the Tea Party often call themselves RepuBlicans, there must Be differences that set the two apart; otherwise there would Be no reason for such a movement. Until now, investigations into the Tea Party have typically discovered that members of the movement are in favor of smaller government, decreased spending, and economic freedom, elements shared with the RepuBlican Party (Scherer, Altman, Cowley, Newton-Small, and Von Drehle, 2010; Courser, 2011; BullocK and Hood, 2012). Is there anything more significant that can be used to distinguish between the Tea Party and the rest of Congress? Drawing inferences from commonly accepted ideas about the Tea Party, this paper investigates whether or not members of the Tea Party extend their Beliefs in smaller government and decreased spending to the defense budget and the international trade budget.

Dauster* The right of United States Senators to debate without limit—and thus to filibuster—has characterized much of the Senate’s history. The Reid Pre- cedent, Majority Leader Harry Reid’s November 21, 2013, change to a sim- ple majority to confirm nominations—sometimes called the “nuclear option”—dramatically altered that right. This article considers the Senate’s right to debate, Senators’ increasing abuse of the filibuster, how Senator Reid executed his change, and possible expansions of the Reid Precedent.

  • Kdittmar Invisible Forces November Draft
    Invisible Forces: Gender, Race, and Congressional Staff Kelly Dittmar, Ph.D. Rutgers University – Camden Center for American Women and Politics, Rutgers University – New Brunswick **WORKING PAPER** 1 INTRODUCTION Forty years ago, Harrison Fox and Susan Hammond published a seminal book on congressional staff, calling staffers “the invisible force in American lawmaking.” They were not the first observers of congressional dynamics to note the often unseen and under-investigated role of professional staff on Capitol Hill, nor have they been the last. Just two years later, Michael Malbin (1980) published Unelected Representatives: Congressional Staff and the Future of Representative Government, seeking to make visible what he perceived as an underappreciated level of staff influence on the policy process. By the mid-1990s, however, Herbert and Karen Foerstel (1996) still characterized congressional staff as representing “the large and influential Capitol Hill infrastructure” that is “invisible to most of the public” (145). Staff remained largely invisible to scholars as well, central to only a handful of book-length publications over the past four decades (Fox and Hammond 1977; Malbin 1980; Pierce 2014; Jones 2017a). The dearth of research on congressional professionals stands in stark contrast to the increased professionalization of the nation’s top legislative institution. The “ever-increasing complexity of governing,” as the national policy agenda has become larger and more complicated, has required members of Congress to hire specialists able to assist them in navigating the new political realities of effective representation (Romzek and Utter 1997, 1251; see also Polsby 1969). The Legislative Reorganization Acts of 1946 and 1970 both increased manpower and encouraged specialization among staff and members, helping them to meet mounting legislative demands.

  • Researching Congressional Rules & Procedure
    Researching Congressional Rules & Procedure This is a select list of resources for researching and understanding rules and procedures in the United States Congress. For finding other congressional documents related to rules and procedures (e.g., resolutions adopting or amending rules, Rules Committee reports, points of order documented in Congressional Record), the best online resources are ProQuest Congressional, Congress.gov, FDsys, and HeinOnline. Background and Explanation Walter J. Oleszek, Congressional Procedures and the Policy Process (10th ed. 2016) The best and most well-known book on congressional procedure. Charles Tiefer, Congressional Practice and Procedure: A Reference, Research, and Legislative Guide (1989) While a bit older, this book is a great in-depth examination of procedure. Barbara Sinclair, Unorthodox Lawmaking: New Legislative Processes in the U.S. Congress (4th ed. 2012) Examines how procedure “really” works in Congress (compared to standard textbook descriptions) and how it has changed in recent years. It is well-known and heavily cited. The fifth edition will be published in July 2016. Charles Tiefer, The Polarized Congress: The Post-Traditional Procedure of Its Current Struggles (2016) This new book also examines how procedure has changed in recent years and how those changes have impacted lawmaking in Congress. CQ Guide to Congress (7th ed. 2013) A good, basic guide to Congress that includes several chapters on congressional procedure. Martin M.

  • When POLITICO Launched Huddle, Its Definitive Guide to the Day Ahead On
    When POLITICO launched Huddle, its definitive guide to the day ahead on Capitol Hill, Barack Obama had yet to secure the Democratic nomination for president and John Boehner was only halfway through the nine political lives he’s led. And over the next 13 years, Huddle became a morning fixture for lawmakers, staffers and others who live in the orbit of Congress. Now it’s time for the next phase in Huddle’s evolution – a throwback to its earliest days of Hill-campus must-knows. We might even bring back the weather forecast that closed the first edition. (Don’t worry: We’re keeping the trivia.) To helm a new chapter for the newsletter as the Capitol rebuilds post-Jan. 6, we searched for a reporter who knew the complex like the back of her hand – someone who could balance humor with deep experience understanding the rhythms of Congress. We found that full package in Katherine Tully-McManus, who we’re thrilled to say will be our next Huddle AM author. Katherine has spent nearly 10 years on the Hill covering various beats at CQ-Roll Call, doing standout work on the Hill’s efforts to strengthen its policies against sexual harassment and on the lingering trauma staffers face following the insurrection. She is a born member of our Congress team, obsessing over the ins and outs of the latest spending bill while celebrating the reopening of the Speaker’s Lobby. Her first day will be July 13; please welcome her with tips and puns! As Katherine arrives, Olivia Beavers is moving on to cover House Republicans full-time as they push to reclaim the majority.

  • Congressional Staff: Duties and Functions of Selected Positions
    Congressional Staff: Duties and Functions of Selected Positions Updated November 9, 2012 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov RL34545 Congressional Staff: Duties and Functions of Selected Positions Summary The United States Congress conducts several types of activities for which it employs staff. These activities include assisting Members in official responsibilities in personal, committee, leadership, or administrative office settings. Congressional career tracks generally mirror common stages of other professional careers, but with adaptations to the congressional workplace. These adaptations include relatively short career ladders on which staff may acquire substantial responsibilities in a relatively short period of time, and close support of a Member’s legislative and representational responsibilities. This report focuses on positions in House and Senate personal offices (Member staff), and provides sample position descriptions for 14 positions with similar job titles in each chamber. As with all congressional entities with employing authority, individual Members of Congress have wide discretion in setting many workplace policies, including procedures for establishing the duties and functions of staff positions. Staffing decisions may be determined by the priorities and goals of a congressional office, and the preferences and needs of a Member’s constituents. This report is one of several CRS products focusing on various aspects of congressional operations and administration. Others include CRS Report RL33686, Roles and Duties of a Member of Congress, by R. Eric Petersen; and CRS Report R41366, House of Representatives and Senate Staff Levels in Member, Committee, Leadership, and Other Offices, 1977-2010, by R. Eric Petersen and Amber Hope Wilhelm.

  • “Regular Order” in the US House: a Historical Examination of Special
    The Erosion of “Regular Order” in the U.S. House: A Historical Examination of Special Rules Michael S. Lynch University of Georgia [email protected] Anthony J. Madonna University of Georgia [email protected] Allison S. Vick University of Georgia [email protected] May 11, 2020 The Rules Committee in the U.S. House of Representatives is responsible for drafting special rules for most bills considered on the floor of the House. These “special rules” set the guidelines for floor consideration including rules of debate and the structure of the amending process. In this chapter we assess how the majority party uses special rules and the Rules Committee to further their policy and electoral goals. We explain the work of the Rules Committee and assess how the use of rules has changed over time. Using a dataset of “important” legislation from 1905-2018, we examine the number of enactments considered under restrictive rules and the rise of these types of rules in recent Congresses. Additionally, we use amendment data from the 109th-115th Congresses to analyze the amending process under structured rules. Introduction In October of 2015, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) was elected Speaker of the House. Among other promises, Ryan pledged to allow more floor amendments through open processes and to return the House to “regular order” (DeBonis 2015). Ryan’s predecessor, former-Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), had been aggressively criticized by members of both parties for his usage of special rules to bar amendments. Despite his optimism, many were skeptical Ryan would be able to deliver on his open rule promises.1 This skepticism appeared to be warranted.
