ADVICE AND DISSENT: DUE PROCESS OF THE SENATE Luis Kutner* The Watergate affair demonstrates the need for a general resurgence of the Senate's proper role in the appointive process. In order to understand the true nature and functioning of this theoretical check on the exercise of unlimited Executive appointment power, the author proceeds through an analysis of the Senate confirmation process. Through a concurrent study of the Senate's constitutionally prescribed function of advice and consent and the historicalprecedent for Senatorial scrutiny in the appointive process, the author graphically describes the scope of this Senatorialpower. Further, the author attempts to place the exercise of the power in perspective, sug- gesting that it is relative to the nature of the position sought, and to the na- ture of the branch of government to be served. In arguing for stricter scrutiny, the author places the Senatorial responsibility for confirmation of Executive appointments on a continuum-the presumption in favor of Ex- ecutive choice is greater when the appointment involves the Executive branch, to be reduced proportionally when the position is either quasi-legis- lative or judicial.

  • Tight Race for U.S. Senate in NH 11/14/2001
    Sponsored by the University of New Hampshire THE GRANITE STATE POLL* By: Andrew E. Smith, Ph.D. 603/862-2226 FOR RELEASE UNH Survey Center November 14, 2001 www.unh.edu/survey-center TIGHT RACE FOR U.S. SENATE IN NH DURHAM, NH -- Democratic Governor Jeanne Shaheen is in a dead heat with incumbent Senator Bob Smith, but trails Congressman John Sununu in the race for U.S. Senate from New Hampshire. Sununu also leads Smith for the GOP nomination. These findings are based on the latest Granite State Poll, conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center. The Granite State Poll is sponsored by the University of New Hampshire. Seven-hundred three (703) adults were interviewed between October 19 and October 29, 2001. The margin of sampling error for the survey is +/-3.8%. THEY’RE OFF! Although the November 5, 2002 election for Senate, Governor, and Congress in New Hampshire is almost a year away, the candidates are already campaigning and fundraising in what will likely be the most expensive election in New Hampshire history. Currently, at least 6 people are running for Governor and 3 are running for Senate. U.S. SENATE The race that is attracting the most nationwide attention is for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Wolfeboro Republican Bob Smith. Although Smith has been elected twice, he is considered by many analysts to be the most vulnerable Senator running for reelection in 2002. Smith has attracted strong opponents both inside the GOP and from the Democrats. Smith came under considerable fire within his own party for an abortive run for President in 2000 during which he briefly quit the GOP and ran as an Independent.

    LITTLE CHANGE IN U.S. SENATE RACE IN NH By: Andrew E. Smith, Ph.D. 603/862-2226 FOR RELEASE UNH Survey Center February 12, 2002 www.unh.edu/survey-center DURHAM, NH -- Republican Congressman John Sununu continues to lead in the race for U.S. Senate from New Hampshire. Sununu has maintained his lead over incumbent Bob Smith in the GOP primary race and continues to enjoy a slim lead over Democratic Governor Jeanne Shaheen. These findings are based on the latest Granite State Poll, conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center. The Granite State Poll is sponsored by the University of New Hampshire. Five-hundred sixty-three (563) registered voters were interviewed between January 25 and February 5, 2002. The margin of sampling error for the survey is +/-4.1 percent. (For more detailed results, visit the Survey Center web site at www.unh.edu/survey-center and click on Press Releases.)

Smith is being challenged by fellow Republican John Sununu of Bedford, a three- term Representative from New Hampshire's 1st District. Currently, Sununu leads Smith in the race for the GOP nomination with 51 percent of likely GOP primary voters saying they plan to vote for Sununu, 37 percent plan to vote for Smith, 4 percent favor some other candidate, and only 8 percent are undecided. Sununu's lead has dropped somewhat since October when he led Smith 53 percent to 35 percent.

HOUSE JOURNAL No. 3 Thursday, January 3, 2013 The House assembled at 11:00 a.m., the hour to which it stood adjourned, and was called to order by the Speaker. Prayer was offered by House Chaplain, Reverend Jared A. Rardin, Pastor of the South Congregational Church in Concord. Good Morning. This morning’s prayer is a slight adaptation of a prayer that was included in a collection of prayers for the new Millennium entitled Prayers for a Thousand Years. The author of the original prayer was Rabia Terri Harris. Let us pause from the smaller worries of today and open ourselves in silence to the grandeur of life and of God. Creator of the Universe, preserve us from our own presumptions. Do not let us close ourselves into ourselves, but open us continually into You and into the wider truth of Your world and Your peoples. Let us seek You more than our notions of You. Let us stop claiming to know everything so that we may understand something and something new. Increase in us kindness. Make us leaders who care and who take care, who venerate the truth and recognize You and honor one another. In Your Holy name we pray. Amen.
