Title 23, United States Code Title 23, United States Code (current as of October 19, 2012, including public laws through P.L. 112-196) Disclaimer This document draws upon information made available by the Office of the Law Revision Counsel (OLRC) of the U.S. House of Representatives via that office’s U.S. Code beta website (http://uscodebeta.house.gov/browse.xhtml) as of October 19, 2012. Every effort has been made to ensure that the text contained in this document is accurate. However, anyone using it for legal research should verify their results against the printed version of the Code available through GPO. In addition, anyone using this document should verify the text against the printed slip laws available from GPO, the laws as shown on Thomas (a legislative service of the Library of Congress), and the final version of the Code when it becomes available. Other notes 1. Content. This document is limited to statutory text, and (apart from occasional footnotes) includes no record of prior versions of title 23 or the public laws that amended it. All footnotes shown in this document reflect notes made by OLRC on U.S. Code beta. 2. Formatting. The majority of this document is formatted via Word’s multilevel list feature, rather than as standard text. The intent behind this was to help in drafting amendatory language or redlining existing text to reflect subsequently enacted provisions. For example, the “increase indent” and “decrease indent” buttons allow a drafter to shift from subsection to subitem (and vice versa), and the auto-numbering should assist in redesignation of statutory subdivisions. 1 TITLE 23, U.S.C.

  • The Capitol Building
    CAPITOL VISITOR CENTER TEACHERTEACHER LLESSONESSON PLANLAN The Capitol BuildiNg Introduction The Capitol is among the most architecturally impressive and symbolically important buildings in the world. The Senate and the House of Representatives have met here for more than two centuries. Begun in 1793, the Capitol has been built, burnt, rebuilt, extended, and restored; today, it stands as a monument not only to its builders but also to the American people and their government. As George Washington said, public buildings in the Capitol city “in size, form, and elegance, should look beyond the present day.”1 This activity features images of the U.S. Capitol building — architectural plans and artistic renderings from its original design and subsequent expansion. Examining these images, students engage in class discussion and individual reflection, considering how a building itself might serve as a symbol and monument. Then, they draft images that capture their own interpretation of how a Capitol building should look. While intended for 8th grade students, the lesson can be adapted for other grade levels. 1 The Writings of George Washington from the Original Manuscript Sources, 1745–1799. John C. Fitzpatrick, Editor., Philadelphia, March 8, 1792. 1 TEACHER LESSON PLAN: THE CAPITOL BUILDING CAPITOL VISITOR CENTER TEACHER LESSON PLAN Estimated Time One to two class sessions National Standards National Standards for Civics and Government Content Standards, grades 5–8 II — What are the Foundations of the American Political System (D.1) United

The Record often reflects the intent of Congress in enacting T legislation. This report is one of a series on the legislative process. Please see http://www.crs.gov/products/guides/guidehome.shtml for more information on the legislative process. The Constitution mandates that each house shall keep and publish a journal of its proceedings. Accordingly, the House and Senate Journals, which are summaries of floor proceedings, are the official accounts of congressional proceedings, but the Record is better known and the most useful. The Record is published daily by the Government Printing Office (GPO) when either or both houses of Congress are in session. It is brought by GPO to the congressional post offices for early morning delivery to congressional offices as well as the House and Senate chambers. Each day’s Record contains an account of the previous day’s congressional activity. However, if a session extends past midnight, the Record is usually published in two parts with the first part printed the following day, and action after midnight included in the next day’s edition.

Dauster* The right of United States Senators to debate without limit—and thus to filibuster—has characterized much of the Senate’s history. The Reid Pre- cedent, Majority Leader Harry Reid’s November 21, 2013, change to a sim- ple majority to confirm nominations—sometimes called the “nuclear option”—dramatically altered that right. This article considers the Senate’s right to debate, Senators’ increasing abuse of the filibuster, how Senator Reid executed his change, and possible expansions of the Reid Precedent.
