In the empirical chapters of this dissertation, I will show that intraparty organizations empower dissident lawmakers to resolve their collective action and coordination challenges by providing selective incentives to cooperative members, transforming public good policies into excludable accomplishments, and instituting rules and procedures to promote group decision-making.

In the empirical chapters of this dissertation, I will show that intraparty organizations empower dissident lawmakers to resolve their collective action and coordination challenges by providing selective incentives to cooperative members, transforming public good policies into excludable accomplishments, and instituting rules and procedures to promote group decision-making. And, in tracing the development of intraparty organization through several well-known examples of party infighting, I will demonstrate that intraparty organizations have played pivotal — yet largely unrecognized — roles in critical legislative battles, including turn-of-the-century economic struggles, midcentury battles over civil rights legislation, and contemporary debates over national health care policy.

A lawmaking body with two houses is called a bicameral legislature. The two houses that make up the U.S. Congress are the House of Representatives and the Senate. Congress is the primary lawmaking body in the U.S. government. To solve problems, Members of Congress introduce legislative proposals called bills or resolutions. After considering these proposals, Members vote to adopt or to reject them. Members of Congress also review the work of executive agencies to determine if they are following government policy, and may introduce new legislation based on what they discover. Bills accepted by both houses of Congress and by the President become law. When the President vetoes a bill and returns it to Congress, Congress reviews the reasons for the rejection but may still act to pass the bill. The U.S. Constitution allows Congress to override the President’s veto with a two-thirds majority vote of both the House and the Senate.

  • Crapo Backs Heavier Trucks on Interstates in Idaho
    Crapo backs heavier trucks on interstates in Idaho Bill comes even as Idaho grapples with how to pay for much-needed road improvements Idaho Statesman, August 11, 2010 By: Erika Bolstad WASHINGTON - Although a new state study suggests that trucks aren't shouldering their share of highway costs, Idaho's congressional delegation supports a plan that could permit bigger loads on interstate highways. Sen. Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, introduced the bill in the Senate last week, saying it will help "get more goods from the farm or factory to consumers in fewer trips and fewer vehicle miles." Crapo's legislation is co-sponsored by senators from Chris Butler both parties, and is likely also to land the backing of Sen. Mike Crapo has proposed legislation that fellow Idaho Republican Sen. Jim Risch. Both of will raise the maximum weight of trucks allowed Idaho's congressmen, Democrat Walt Minnick and on interstate highways. The idea is drawing Republican Mike Simpson, support a similar measure criticism from the AAA of Idaho and support from the trucking industry. Shown are trucks on in the House. I-84 east of Boise near Micron Technology. The bill allows individual states to approve laws allowing truck weights of 97,000 pounds on interstate highways within their borders. The current weight limit on interstates in Idaho and many states is 80,000 pounds (40 tons), although there's a pilot program allowing trucks of up to 129,000 pounds on some roads. Any truck weighing more than 80,000 would have to be equipped with at least six axles.

    Articles with Major Mentions of Michael S. Barr January 20, 2009 – October 31, 2010 Cheyenne Hopkins, White House backs Itself into a Corner Letting CFPB Remain Leaderless, American Banker, August 27, 2010. WASHINGTON — Although President Obama made the creation of a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau a hallmark of the financial reform law enacted July 21, his delay in nominating the agency's first director could hamper its ability to get off the ground. With so much riding on the appointment, several observers had expected Obama to make his choice clear within days of the law's enactment. Instead, the absence of a pick has given rise to a grassroots campaign to appoint Elizabeth Warren to the job, which could create a political issue for the administration whether it ultimately chooses her or not. The Treasury Department, in the meantime, is tasked with getting the agency up and running, and observers said it is critical that a director be nominated and confirmed relatively soon. "There's a lot of operational work that can be done without a director being done, but some of the most profoundly difficult things comes down to having a leader," said Raj Date, the chairman and executive director of the Cambridge Winter Center for Financial Institutions Policy. "Leadership matters. If you are trying to have an agency that attracts the best and brightest for the sector, then you have to have a leader." Creating the consumer bureau was the first in a long list of tasks the agency must accomplish in its first year. Among other things, it must merge mortgage disclosure laws and outline a vision of its own authority.

  • Fair and Balanced
    Fair and balanced June 11th, 2010 (5) comments Marty Trillhaase ... SlideshowThis article has a slideshow. Click to view. Image #2 JEERS ... to Idaho Freedom Foundation Executive Director Wayne Hoffman. He is responsible for the IdahoReporter.com, which is self-described as "a free news service that provides comprehensive, factual, non-opinionated and non-ideological coverage of state government." Well, not quite. This week IdahoReporter.com's Dustin Hurst put out the word that U.S. Congressman Walt Minnick, D- Idaho, was spending a lot of taxpayer money promoting himself to his constituents through the congressional "franking" privilege. In essence, it's direct mail advertising for incumbents. Minnick, a Democrat in a Republican congressional district, spent more than $150,000 during his first year in office. In contrast, U.S. Rep. Mike Simpson, R-Idaho, spent $18,000. Then IdahoReporter.com dug back 14 years and located a quote from Minnick - when he challenged U.S. Sen. Larry Craig, R-Idaho - bashing the franking practice. "It is a perfect example of how professional politicians use a system of perks to stay in office and rip off the taxpayer at the same time, ... " Minnick said. IdahoReporter.com says Craig "averaged about $44,500 a year during his first four years in the Senate, while Minnick averaged roughly $30,000 a quarter in his first 15 months in office." Not only is Minnick supposedly a profligate, he's accused of hypocrisy too. Except for one thing: What this "a free news service that provides comprehensive, factual, non-opinionated and non-ideological coverage of state government" failed to mention was that Minnick hasn't come close to spending the wads of cash his Republican predecessor, Bill Sali, burned through by sending out his junk mail to voters.
