  • Resolutions to Censure the President: Procedure and History
    Resolutions to Censure the President: Procedure and History Updated February 1, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R45087 Resolutions to Censure the President: Procedure and History Summary Censure is a reprimand adopted by one or both chambers of Congress against a Member of Congress, President, federal judge, or other government official. While Member censure is a disciplinary measure that is sanctioned by the Constitution (Article 1, Section 5), non-Member censure is not. Rather, it is a formal expression or “sense of” one or both houses of Congress. Censure resolutions targeting non-Members have utilized a range of statements to highlight conduct deemed by the resolutions’ sponsors to be inappropriate or unauthorized. Before the Nixon Administration, such resolutions included variations of the words or phrases unconstitutional, usurpation, reproof, and abuse of power. Beginning in 1972, the most clearly “censorious” resolutions have contained the word censure in the text. Resolutions attempting to censure the President are usually simple resolutions. These resolutions are not privileged for consideration in the House or Senate. They are, instead, considered under the regular parliamentary mechanisms used to process “sense of” legislation. Since 1800, Members of the House and Senate have introduced resolutions of censure against at least 12 sitting Presidents. Two additional Presidents received criticism via alternative means (a House committee report and an amendment to a resolution). The clearest instance of a successful presidential censure is Andrew Jackson. The Senate approved a resolution of censure in 1834. On three other occasions, critical resolutions were adopted, but their final language, as amended, obscured the original intention to censure the President.

J _j. c files this complaint seeking an immediate investigation by the 7 c; a > Federal Election Commission into the illegal spending A* practices of the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee (WRSCIt). As the public record shows, and an investigation will confirm, the NRSC and a series of ostensibly nonprofit, nonpartisan groups have undertaken a significant and sustained effort to funnel "soft money101 into federal elections in violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended or "the Act"), 2 U.S.C. 5s 431 et seq., and the Federal Election Commission (peFECt)Regulations, 11 C.F.R. 85 100.1 & sea.

THE FACTS IN TBIS CABE On November 24, 1992, the state of Georgia held a unique runoff election for the office of United States Senator. Georgia law provided for a runoff if no candidate in the regularly scheduled November 3 general election received in excess of 50 percent of the vote. The 1992 runoff in Georg a was a hotly contested race between the Democratic incumbent Wyche Fowler, and his Republican opponent, Paul Coverdell. The Republicans presented this election as a %ust-win81 election. Exhibit 1. The Republicans were so intent on victory that Senator Dole announced he was willing to give up his seat on the Senate Agriculture Committee for Coverdell, if necessary.

  • Bob Krueger-Unedited
    Bob Krueger LBJ Lecture Oct. 1, 2003 UNEDITED LBJ Distinguished Lecture Remarks for President Denise Trauth Student Center Teaching Theater Wednesday, October 1, 2003 7:30 p.m. Good evening, and welcome to our fall 2003 Lyndon B. Johnson Distinguished Lecture. Our speaker tonight comes to us with a particularly timely issue — the foreign intervention policies of our country. It is certainly a subject that consumes the front pages of our major newspapers, fuels the rhetoric of presidential candidates and provides fodder for news talk shows. Some of those doing the talking about this subject are simply grabbing headlines and are marginally acquainted with the deeper issues involved. Robert Krueger, however, has the background to justify his opinions. He has served as a Congressman and a Senator. He has held ambassador positions under two presidents on two continents. He is currently a consultant on international trade issues and government policy. And he is doubly qualified to give his opinion because he started his career as a university faculty member. That was at Duke, when he was 25 years old, and by age 36 he was dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. He earned his degrees at Southern Methodist, Duke and Oxford. He has returned to teaching occasionally and recently taught a graduate course in public administration here at Texas State. I understand that he will be back in the spring to team teach a course in the Master of Public Administration program with Howard Balanoff. We are delighted to have Dr. Krueger talk to us tonight about “When Should the United States Intervene? A Look at U.S.
