  • <Billno> <Sponsor> SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION 517 by Gilmore A
    <BillNo> <Sponsor> SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION 517 By Gilmore A RESOLUTION to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the passage of Public Chapter 95 of 1921. WHEREAS, on April 5, 1921, Governor Alfred A. Taylor signed into law Senate Bill 737, which became Public Chapter 95 of 1921, a law that gave the women of Tennessee the right to hold public office; and WHEREAS, less than thirty years earlier, on April 29, 1893, the Tennessee Supreme Court had declared in State ex rel. v. Davidson, 92 Tenn 531; 22 S.W. 203, that "By the English or common law, no woman, under the dignity of a queen, could take part in the government of the State, and they could hold no office except parish office…"; and WHEREAS, the Tennessee Supreme Court further stated that "Although a woman may be a citizen, she is not entitled, by virtue of her citizenship, to take any part in the government, either as a voter or as an officer, independent of legislation conferring such rights upon her…. It follows that unless there is some constitutional or legislative provision enabling her to hold office, she is not eligible to the same"; and WHEREAS, in short, such ruling declared that although a woman was a citizen of the State, she had no right to vote or hold any elected office; and WHEREAS, on April 17, 1919, Governor A. H. Roberts signed into law Public Chapter 139 of 1919, "AN ACT granting women the right to vote for electors of President and Vice President of the United States, and for municipal officers"; under this law, women in Tennessee could now vote in most elections, but the bar to holding public office remained; and WHEREAS, in August 1920, Tennessee became the thirty-sixth and final state necessary to ratify the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution; women throughout the SJR0517 006838 - 1 - United States were then able to vote in the November 1920 presidential election, but women in Tennessee still had no legal right to hold public office; and WHEREAS, in a special election held in January 1921 to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator J.

  • A Student's Guide to the Tennessee
    The MembersA of theStudent’s Senate Guide to the Tennessee Senate 2013 Edition Welcome to the Tennessee Senate. Thank you for your interest in your government. My name is Ron Ramsey. I am the Lieutenant Governor of Tennessee. I have this job because a majority of my fellow senators voted for me to be their leader, or “Speaker.” Unlike many other states, Tennessee’s Lieutenant Governor is also head of its Senate. My duties as both Speaker of the Senate and Lieutenant Governor keep me very busy. However, because I am a state Senator, my job is officially part-time. Having a part-time legislature is good because it allows elected officials to spend time living and working under the laws they make and with the people they represent. When the legislature is not in session I run a real estate and auction business with my wife, Sindy, in my hometown of Blountville, which is right on the border between Virginia and Tennessee. It is a wonderful town and I am glad to be able to spend time there when the legislature is not in session. If you visit the Capitol on a day when the legislature is in session, you will see me presiding over the Senate. I have a gavel, and I do my best to keep Senate sessions moving along quickly and efficiently so my members can get back home to their families and businesses. I also make all of the Senate’s committee assignments. Much of the Senate’s work goes on in committees so it is important to have the right people working on the right issues.

It was with incredulity that we heard of the latest overreach of this federal administration. They have no legal authority to direct schools to accommodate students with gender identity disorder at the expense of the mentally healthy enrollment. When the constitution and/or the law do not result in the advancement of their far left social agenda, they seem to resort to their preferred tactic: bullying. Bullying through threats of withholding the legal return of our pass through dollars and bullying through their unique deployment of mobocracy seem to be interchangeable weapons in the arsenal used to achieve assumed unilateral authority. We are asking you to challenge the legal authority of the federal government to enforce any “directives” or financial withholding threats contained in the guidance letter issued on Thursday, May 12, 2016. The sovereign states of North Carolina, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Texas have already filed legal arguments against this current federal overreach. Creating directives in the absence of legal authority of supporting laws must be challenged. In ever increasing ways, the federal administration has devolved into the antithesis of the rule of law.
