This is despite the fact that Congress possesses great power to compel testimony and documents from public and private persons alike, and that exercises of the investigative power are among the most notable public images of Congress. While several recent studies have considered investigations in the context of relations between the executive and legislative branches, far less effort has been committed to looking at how much Congress uses coercive investigative power to gather information on non- governmental actors. I develop several new datasets to examine the historical and recent use of investigations of both governmental and non-governmental institutions. A major component of this work is a comprehensive study of all authorizations of subpoena power granted to committees over the period 1792-1944. I find that for both Executive and outside subjects, divided control of government was positively associated with the volume of investigations in the House, but not in the Senate.

Further reproduction prohibited without permission. ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the U.S. wartime presidential campaign of 1944. In 1944, the United States was at war with the Axis Powers of World War II, and Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt, already serving an unprecedented third term as President of the United States, was seeking a fourth. Roosevelt was a very able politician and-combined with his successful performance as wartime commander-in-chief-- waged an effective, and ultimately successful, reelection campaign. Republicans, meanwhile, rallied behind New York Governor Thomas E. Dewey. Dewey emerged as leader of the GOP at a critical time. Since the coming of the Great Depression -for which Republicans were blamed-the party had suffered a series of political setbacks. Republicans were demoralized, and by the early 1940s, divided into two general national factions: Robert Taft conservatives and Wendell WiIlkie "liberals." Believing his party's chances of victory over the skilled and wily commander-in-chiefto be slim, Dewey nevertheless committed himself to wage a competent and centrist campaign, to hold the Republican Party together, and to transform it into a relevant alternative within the postwar New Deal political order.

  • War, Race, Biography, and History
    Pittsburgh 1941: War, Race, Biography, and History Pearl Harbor in Pittsburgh TWAS3:00 PM ON SUNDAY, December 7, 1941. There was a mass meeting in Pittsburgh’s Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall, located Iin Oakland Civic Center, three miles from downtown Pittsburgh. The hall had been built by the Grand Army of the Republic (the Union veterans organization) to honor Civil War veterans. Styled after the ancient mausoleum of Halicarnassus, it was officially dedicated on October 11, 1910. Those inside the solemn war memorial on this grey Sunday afternoon had come to attend a large antiwar meeting on the theme of “Christianity and Intervention”—an America First Committee rally against American involvement in the European war.1 The huge hall seated 2,550, and it was filled almost to capacity, decked out in red, white, and blue bunting and “Defend America First” placards. The building had been used before for an America First Committee meeting, in June 1941, over the protests of some patriotic veterans. On that occasion, the speaker had been Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Montana, and he had denounced the project of bringing Roosevelt’s four freedoms to the world. He had asked, “Who are we to tell Stalin that he must give his people freedom of speech, religion and press.”2 Those who came to the December meeting carried American flags and were even more intent on proclaiming their Americanism this time, even as they opposed the policies of their president. The advertised speakers for this afternoon were Senator Gerald Nye, a Republican from North Dakota who was best known nationally as the chair of the 1934–36 Senate committee that investigated the munitions industry and the causes of war, former Democratic Pennsylvania state 1 “America First Group Lists Speakers Here,” Pittsburgh Sun Telegraph, Dec.

Colonel Summers, a veteran of the Korean and Vietnam Wars, was the recipient of two Legions of Merit, the Silver Star, three Bronze Stars, two Purple Hearts, two Air Medals, and two awards of the Combat Infantryman’s Badge, and also authored numerous books, articles, and columns.

  • Tomorrow, the World the Birth of U.S. Global Supremacy in World War II Stephen Alexander Wertheim
    Tomorrow, the World The Birth of U.S. Global Supremacy in World War II Stephen Alexander Wertheim Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 © 2015 Stephen Wertheim All rights reserved ABSTRACT Tomorrow the World: The Birth of U.S. Global Supremacy in World War II Stephen Wertheim This dissertation contends that in 1940 and 1941 the makers and shapers of American foreign relations decided that the United States should become the world’s supreme political and military power, responsible for underwriting international order on a global scale. Reacting to the events of World War II, particularly the Nazi conquest of France, American officials and intellectuals concluded that henceforth armed force was essential to the maintenance of liberal intercourse in international society and that the United States must possess and control a preponderance of such force. This new axiom constituted a rupture from what came before and a condition of possibility of the subsequent Cold War with the Soviet Union and of U.S. world leadership after the Soviet collapse. Thus this dissertation argues against the teleological interpretations of two opposing sets of scholarship. The first set, an orthodox literature in history and political science, posits a longstanding polarity in American thinking between “internationalism” and “isolationism.” So conceived, internationalism favored global political-military supremacy from the first, needing only to vanquish isolationism in the arena of elite and popular opinion. The second, revisionist camp suggests the United States sought supremacy all along, driven by the dynamics of capitalism and the ideology of exceptionalism.
