  • Speakers of the House: Elections, 1913-2021
    Speakers of the House: Elections, 1913-2021 Updated January 25, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov RL30857 Speakers of the House: Elections, 1913-2021 Summary Each new House elects a Speaker by roll call vote when it first convenes. Customarily, the conference of each major party nominates a candidate whose name is placed in nomination. A Member normally votes for the candidate of his or her own party conference but may vote for any individual, whether nominated or not. To be elected, a candidate must receive an absolute majority of all the votes cast for individuals. This number may be less than a majority (now 218) of the full membership of the House because of vacancies, absentees, or Members answering “present.” This report provides data on elections of the Speaker in each Congress since 1913, when the House first reached its present size of 435 Members. During that period (63rd through 117th Congresses), a Speaker was elected six times with the votes of less than a majority of the full membership. If a Speaker dies or resigns during a Congress, the House immediately elects a new one. Five such elections occurred since 1913. In the earlier two cases, the House elected the new Speaker by resolution; in the more recent three, the body used the same procedure as at the outset of a Congress. If no candidate receives the requisite majority, the roll call is repeated until a Speaker is elected. Since 1913, this procedure has been necessary only in 1923, when nine ballots were required before a Speaker was elected.

  • CBS NEWS POLL for Release: Sunday, January 7Th, 2007 10:30 A.M
    CBS NEWS POLL For Release: Sunday, January 7th, 2007 10:30 a.m. EST VIEWS ON THE LEADERS OF THE 110TH CONGRESS January 1-3, 2007 As the 110th Congress gets underway, the new Democratic leaders of both the House of Representatives and the Senate remain unfamiliar to most Americans. More than seven in 10 Americans are undecided or haven’t heard enough about Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat and the first woman Speaker of the House, to have an opinion of her. Those who do have an opinion are divided: 14% of Americans view her favorably, while 12% view her unfavorably. As expected, Democrats are more likely than Republicans to view Pelosi favorably. 24% of Democrats have a favorable opinion of the Speaker, while 30% of Republicans hold a negative view of her. OPINION OF NANCY PELOSI All Rep. Dem. Ind. 10/2006 Favorable 14% 3% 24% 12% 10% Not Favorable 12 30 2 9 17 Undecided/haven’t heard enough 74 67 74 79 71 Both men and women are divided in their opinions of Pelosi, and most can’t evaluate her. Speaker Pelosi, who represents the eighth district of California, gets a 26% favorable rating from Americans residing in the western portion of the country – the highest rating of any region. In October 2006, just prior to the mid-term elections, Americans were asked about then-Speaker Dennis Hastert. Like Pelosi, he was unfamiliar to most. The new Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, is even more unknown to the public than Speaker Pelosi. 86% of Americans are undecided or haven’t heard enough about Reid.

  • Jack Howard Senior Vice President, Congressional and Public Affairs U.S
    Jack Howard Senior Vice President, Congressional and Public Affairs U.S. Chamber of Commerce Jack Howard is senior vice president of the Congressional and Public Affairs Division at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The division includes a team of 15 lobbyists in Washington, D.C., as well as seven regional offices charged with providing membership services and grassroots lobbying. Howard is responsible for developing the strategy and leading the tactical execution of the Chamber’s congressional lobbying activities, coordinating resources in Washington and around the country, and ensuring that the division’s mission and objectives align with those of the Chamber. With more than 25 years of government service, Howard served in the White House as deputy assistant to President George W. Bush. He worked in the Office of Legislative Affairs where he coordinated the efforts of senior-level White House officials, Cabinet departments, and agencies to secure congressional passage of President Bush’s legislative priorities. Earlier, he served in the White House under President George H.W. Bush from 1989 to 1992, also in the Office of Legislative Affairs, where he had similar responsibilities. Howard’s extensive experience also includes having worked at the highest levels of Congress and having served as senior counsel and adviser to Republican leaders of the House and Senate, including Speakers Dennis Hastert and Newt Gingrich as well as Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott. His experience earned him recognition as an inside leader in Washington. National Journal named him one of the “Top 50 Bush White House staff members.” Roll Call, the newspaper of Capitol Hill, regularly acknowledged Howard among the “Top 50 Congressional staff members.” Before joining the Chamber, Howard was vice chairman and chief operating officer of Wexler & Walker Public Policy Associates, a lobbying and consulting firm specializing in international affairs and trade advocacy.

  • Legislative Proposals for the 109Th Congress
    Order Code RL33237 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Congressional Gifts and Travel: Legislative Proposals for the 109th Congress January 17, 2006 Mildred Amer Specialist in American National Government Government and Finance Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Congressional Gifts and Travel: Legislative Proposals for the 109th Congress Summary It has been a decade since the House and Senate examined their rules on the acceptance of gifts and travel expenses. Press accounts of alleged excesses in privately funded congressional travel and gifts, particularly from lobbyists, have provided an impetus for proposed changes in the 109th Congress. Legislative proposals introduced thus far and related to congressional gifts and travel all focus on some aspect of lobbyists and lobbying and include changes to (1) requirements for the disclosure reports required by the Lobbying Disclosure Act; (2) permissible gifts given to Members of Congress under the current congressional gift rules; and (3) the various types of officially-connected travel Members, officers, and employees of Congress are allowed under current rules. The bills addressing some or all of these issues in the 109th Congress are H.R. 2412, introduced by Representative Martin Meehan; H.R. 3177, introduced by Representative George Miller; S. 1398, introduced by Senator Russ Feingold; S. 2128, introduced by Senator John McCain; and H.R. 4575, introduced by Representative Christopher Shays. This report provides an analysis of the proposals for change introduced or discussed in the 109th Congress and will be updated as events warrant. For additional information, please refer to CRS Report RL33065, Lobbying Disclosure: Background and Legislative Proposals, 109th Congress, by Eric Peterson, and CRS Report RL33234, Lobbying Disclosure and Ethics Proposals Related to Lobbying Introduced in the 109th Congress, A Comparative Analysis, by Eric Peterson.
