John Quincy Adams House and John F. Kennedy Library Date: Friday, November 9, 2012 Cost: Sign up by 10/15/12 - $79.00 Cost after 10/16/12 - $84.00 Come with us as we travel into Boston and visit two historical places in one day. Our first stop today will be for a guided tour at the oldest presidential birthplaces in the United States. In 1735, John Adams was born in the “Salt Box” house located only 75 feet away from the birthplace of his son John Quincy Adams. It was here that John Adams, Samuel Adams and James Bowdoin wrote the Massachusetts Constitution. This document, still in use today, greatly influenced development of the United States Constitution. Following our tour we will be going to the Phillips Old Colony House for a delicious lunch. Your entrée choices for today are either: Baked Stuffed Breast of Chicken or Baked Fresh Boston Scrod; entrees come complete with salad, vegetable, potato, dessert, rolls and butter and beverage. At the conclusion of lunch our next stop will be at the John F. Kennedy Library. Build on Boston’s waterfront; the library and Museum are set on a ten acre park landscaped with pine trees, shrubs and wild roses reminiscent of the landscape of Cape Cod familiar to President Kennedy. Experience the museum through three theaters, period settings and 25 dramatic multimedia exhibits, and enter the recreated world of the Kennedy Presidency for a “first-hand” experience of John F. Kennedy’s life, legacy and leadership.

Farrell University of New Hampshire The broad and profound influence of classical rhetoric in early America can be observed in both the academic study of that ancient discipline, and in the practical approaches to persuasion adopted by orators and writers in the colonial period, and during the early republic. Classical theoretical treatises on rhetoric enjoyed wide authority both in college curricula and in popular treatments of the art. Classical orators were imitated as models of republican virtue and oratorical style. Indeed, virtually every dimension of the political life of early America bears the imprint of a classical conception of public discourse.

John Quincy Adams Influence on Washington’s Farewell Address: A Critical Examination By Stephen Pierce In the last official letter to President Washington as Minister to the Netherlands in 1797, John Quincy Adams expressed his deepest thanks and reverence for the appointment that was bestowed upon him by the chief executive. As Washington finished his second and final term in office, Adams stated, “I shall always consider my personal obligations to you among the strongest motives to animate my industry and invigorate my exertions in the service of my country.” After his praise to Washington, he went into his admiration of the president’s 1796 Farewell Address.

Questions of privilege have precedence of all motions except the motion to adjourn. Form and history of Rule IX. The House rules define questions of privilege in Rule IX: Questions of privilege shall be, fast, those affecting the rights of the House collectively, its safety, dignity, and the integrity of its proceedings; second, the rights, reputation, and conduct of Members individually in their representative capacity only; and shall have precedence of all other questions, except motions to adjourn. This was a new rule framed in the revision of 1880,2 and has not been changed essentially since that date. The object of the rule was to prevent the large consump- tion of time which resulted from Members getting the floor for all kinds of speeches under the pretext of raising a question of privilege.3 As first framed, the motions for a recess and to fix the day to which the House shall adjourn were included with the motion to adjourn as having precedence of a question of privilege. These motions were dropped in the Fifty-first Congress, and, although restored in the Fifty-second and Fifty-third, were again dropped in the Fifty-fourth.
