  • 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.

Tip O’Neill: Irish American Representative Man Thomas P. “Tip” O’Neill, Man of the House as he aptly called himself in his 1987 memoir, stood as the quintessential Irish American representative man for half of the twentieth century. O’Neill, often misunderstood as a parochial, Irish Catholic party pol, was a shrewd, sensitive, and idealistic man who came to stand for a more inclusive and expansive sense of his region, his party, and his church. O’Neill’s impressive presence both embodied the clichés of the Irish American character and transcended its stereotypes by articulating a noble vision of inspired duty, determined responsibility, and joy in living. There was more to Tip O’Neill than met the eye, as several presidents learned.

  • DISSERTATION Presented to the Graduate Council of the North
    4Z SAM RAYBURN: TRIALS OF A PARTY MAN DISSERTATION Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By Edward 0. Daniel, B.A., M.A. Denton, Texas May, 1979 Daniel, Edward 0., Sam Rayburn: Trials of a Party Man. Doctor of Philosophy (History), May, 1979, 330 pp., bibliog- raphy, 163 titles. Sam Rayburn' s remarkable legislative career is exten- sively documented, but no one has endeavored to write a political biography in which his philosophy, his personal convictions, and the forces which motivated him are analyzed. The object of this dissertation is to fill that void by tracing the course of events which led Sam Rayburn to the Speakership of the United States House of Representatives. For twenty-seven long years of congressional service, Sam Rayburn patiently, but persistently, laid the groundwork for his elevation to the speakership. Most of his accomplish- ments, recorded in this paper, were a means to that end. His legislative achievements for the New Deal were monu- mental, particularly in the areas of securities regulation, progressive labor laws, and military preparedness. Rayburn rose to the speakership, however, not because he was a policy maker, but because he was a policy expeditor. He took his orders from those who had the power to enhance his own station in life. Prior to the presidential election of 1932, the center of Sam Rayburn's universe was an old friend and accomplished political maneuverer, John Nance Garner. It was through Garner that Rayburn first perceived the significance of the "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours" style of politics.

  • Nancy Pelosi Is the 52Nd Speaker of the House of Representatives, Having Made History in 2007 When She Was Elected the First Woman to Serve As Speaker of the House
    More than 30 Years of Leadership & Progress SPEAKER.GOV “Pelosi is one of the most consequential political figures of her generation. It was her creativity, stamina and willpower that drove the defining Democratic accomplishments of the past decade, from universal access to health coverage to saving the U.S. economy from collapse, from reforming Wall Street to allowing gay people to serve openly in the military. Her Republican successors’ ineptitude has thrown her skills into sharp relief. It’s not a stretch to say Pelosi is one of very few legislators in Washington who actually know what they’re doing.” – TIME Magazine Cover Profile, September 2018 Nancy Pelosi is the 52nd Speaker of the House of Representatives, having made history in 2007 when she was elected the first woman to serve as Speaker of the House. Now in her third term as Speaker, Pelosi made history again in January 2019 when she regained her position second-in-line to the presidency, the first person to do so in more than 60 years. As Speaker, Pelosi is fighting For The People, working to lower health care costs, increase workers’ pay through strong economic growth and rebuilding America, and clean up corruption for make Washington work for all. For 31 years, Speaker Pelosi has represented San Francisco, California’s 12th District, in Congress. She has led House Democrats for 16 years and previously served as House Democratic Whip. In 2013, she was inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame at a ceremony in Seneca Falls, the birthplace of the American women’s rights movement.

  • The Sam Rayburn Papers: a Preliminary Investigation by DEWARD G
    Downloaded from http://meridian.allenpress.com/american-archivist/article-pdf/35/3-4/331/2745739/aarc_35_3-4_x71222th62218485.pdf by guest on 03 October 2021 The Sam Rayburn Papers: A Preliminary Investigation By DEWARD G. BROWN PEAKER OF THE HOUSE Sam Rayburn died on November 16, 1961, ending a long and distinguished political career. S Rayburn became Speaker in 1940 and served in that position for seventeen years, longer than any other man in history. He was particularly influential in the Democratic Party and acted as Chair- man of the Democratic National Convention in 1948, 1952, and 1956. He represented his district well for over two generations and, along with Senator Lyndon Johnson, gave Texas a strong voice in national affairs. Former President Johnson is remembered in Texas by his Presidential Library in the capital city of Austin, but Rayburn is remembered by a small, privately funded library in Bonham, his home town, in tranquil, rural northeast Texas. These libraries symbolize the public life of the two men: Rayburn, with a quiet and humble political style, preferred a career in the House, whereas Johnson, with a more energetic style, rose to the Presidency. After serving as Speaker for a few years, Rayburn wanted to build a small, unpretentious library in his hometown. He hoped to make it both a permanent depository for his official and personal papers and a center for the study of congressional history and affairs. In 1948, using the Collier Award of $10,000 he received for distin- guished service in Congress, the Speaker started a library fundraising campaign which brought contributions ranging from school chil- dren's pennies to sums of $50,000 donated by friends and admirers.

He grew up in Uvalde, Texas. Hendryx served in the U. S. Marine Corps during World War II, after which he enrolled at Sul Ross State University in Alpine, Texas, graduating with a B.A. in Economics in 1949 and an M.A. in Government in 1950. In 1947 Hendryx became an announcer for the newly founded radio station KVLF in Alpine, Texas. By 1950, he was the station's general manager and by 1954 he had acquired working ownership of the station. Gene Hendryx and Lucille Easterwood Kempen, of Alpine, Texas, married in 1950 and became the parents of three sons: Gene Ray, Forest George, and Houston Bowie. Lucille Hendryx died in 1989. In 1992, Gene Hendryx created the Gene and Lucille Hendryx Alpha Chi Scholarship and Endowment Fund at Sul Ross State University. Gene Hendryx is the author of two books, Semper Fi!, a novel published in 1959 (manuscript: "The Marines Have Landed" in the collection) and The Last Frontier, 1997, a collection of forty- eight broadcast scripts from Hendryx's radio career. The scripts were transcribed from tapes by Nancy Roberts Hendryx, whom he married in 1992, and selected for the book with the help of his sons. In 1962, the voters of the 72nd District elected Hendryx to the Texas House of Representatives where he served until January, 1969, a total of three terms.

  • What Do Nancy Pelosi, Charles and David Koch, Barack Obama And
    What do Nancy Pelosi, Charles and David Koch, Barack Obama and Harry Reid have in common besides causing loathing at the mere mention of their names? Answer: None is on the ballot in Arkansas or in any state outside San Francisco, but they dominate political races across the South and the Great Plains. In the case of the shadowy billionaire Koch brothers, that may be only the wishful thinking of Democrats. Despite their deep financial interest in polluting industries in Arkansas and their huge investments in Arkansas Republicans, the Kochs are largely unknown, but Democrats hope to change that by November. Bête noires—no, let’s use a good Southern word for them, bogeymen—are not a novelty of modern elections, but this is the decade where they have become almost the whole election. In Arkansas they are at least 75 percent of the election. Since the first midterm of his presidency, Barack Obama has been the bogeyman of every congressional election in the South. Every Democrat who has run for the U. S. Senate or House of Representative and often for state legislative seats has had to run with the specter of Obama beside him or her. Obama’s image or the signature achievement of his presidency, “Obamacare,” appears alongside the Democrat in attack commercials. You can quarrel over the degree to which the color of his skin and his uncommon name make Obama a hobgoblin in Arkansas and the rest of the South, but when his approval ratings are barely above 30 percent you know it is the case.

    Jim Wright LBJ Lecturer October 16, 1984 Introduction of Congressman Jim Wright The Sixth Lyndon Baines Johnson Distinguished Lecturer Robert L. Hardesty President Southwest Texas State University It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the sixth in the series of the Lyndon Baines Johnson Distinguished Lectures. I am particularly pleased to see so many of our SWT community here tonight, along with so many friends of South west Texas. I would like to extend a special welcome to some of our honored guests: the Honorable Kathy Lowry, a member of our Board of Regents, and her husband, Dr. Tim Lowry; the Honorable Bob Barton, Representative from the San Marcos District to the Texas House of Representatives; the Honorable Myra McDaniel, Secretary of State of the state of Texas, and her husband Reuben; the Honorable Emmie Craddock, Mayor of San Marcos and Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Southwest Texas. We are particularly happy to welcome the members of our Speaker’s family: Mrs. Betty Wright, his wife, and his sisters, Mrs. Mary Connell and Dr. Betty Wright who is a member of the health and physical education faculty at SWT. It is exciting to realize that we are tonight fulfilling a promise that President Johnson made to this university shortly before his death in 1973. That promise, as most of you know, was to bring to South west Texas some of the nation’s most prominent men and women to meet with university students, faculty and staff. Since we began this lecture series three years ago, we have done just that.
