Madonna also thanks the University of Georgia American Political Development working group for support and comments, and Rachel Snyder for helpful research assistance. All errors remain the authors. Abstract The constitutional placement of the vice president as the president of the Senate is a unique feature of the chamber. It places control over the Senate's rules and precedents under an individual who is not elected by the chamber and receives no direct benefits from the maintenance of its institutions. We argue that this feature has played an important role in the Senate's development. The vice president has frequently acted in a manner that conflicted with the wishes of chamber majorities. Consequently, senators have been reluctant to allow cham- ber power to be centralized under their largely unaccountable presiding officer. This fear has prevented the Senate from allowing its chair to reduce dilatory action, as the House has done. Accordingly, delay via the filibuster, has become commonplace in the Senate. Such delay has reduced the Senate's efficiency, but has largely freed it from the potential influence of the executive branch.

Abstract The constitutional designation of the vice president as the president of the United States Senate is a unique feature of the chamber. It places control over the Senate's rules and precedents under an individual who is not elected by the chamber and receives no direct benefits from the maintenance of its institutions. We argue that this feature of the Senate has played an important, recurring role in its development. The vice president has frequently acted in a manner that conflicted with the wishes chamber majorities. Consequently, the Senate has developed rules and precedents that insulate the chamber from its presiding officer. These actions have made the Senate a less efficient chamber, but have largely freed it from the potential influence of the executive branch. We examine these arguments using a mix of historical and contemporary case studies, as well as empirical data on contentious rulings on questions of order.

  • Ancestral Colonial Families
    Ancestral Colonial Families GENEALOGY of THE WELSH AND HYATT FAMILIES OF MARYLAND AND THEIR KIN; Giving The Colonial Generations of The Howard, Hammond, Maccubbin, Griffith, Greenberry, Dorsey, Van Sweringen, Baldwin, Gaither, Warfield and Duvall Families. By LUTHER W. WELSH, A. M., M. D., Kansas City, Mo. Lambert Moon Printing Co. Independence, Mo. 1928 PREFACE. The writing of this ibook has been a labor of love to its author. The families given, with probably one exception, are his own ancestral families, and ,as such he has studied them with a regard for accuracy not always found in works of unrelated professionals. It is not pos­ sible to avoid all error in a work of this kind, from inadvertence or limited information, but it is believed such errors have been reduced to the minimum. The author will gladly welcome corrections. In the "Genealogy of the Welsh and Hy,att Families" he has sought to conserve in permanent form the many records he has gath­ ered in the research of years, many of which otherwise would become pevmanently lost to these families. The intrinsic value of genealogy, ihowever, fromJ the biologioal standpoint, does not lie in any one or two ancestral sources, but in all the elements that have contributed to the formation of the individual life and character. Hence, in the "Colonial Generations of Kindred Families," is given something of the origin and early history of these families-all of whom have been notivbly prominent in Md. history-whose blood strains have entered into and become a component part of the life-stream of almost all of the in­ dividual families who are represented herein.

J. C. Dulany Co. Chapter 48, Acts of 1904. An Act to formally adopt and legalize the Maryland Flag. Whueuas, It is represented to the General Assembly that the flag designed and used as the Flag of Maryland, under the Proprietary Government, and which is still known as the Maryland Flag, has never been formally adopted by Maryland as a State, its use having been continued by common consent only; and Whereas, It is not only desirable that the official Flag of Maryland should be formally adopted and legalized, but it is eminently fitting that, by reason of its historic interest and meaning, as well as for its beauty and harmony of colors, the flag adopted should be the one which, from the earliest settlement of the Province to the present time, has been known and distinguished as the Flag of Maryland; therefore, Section i. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Maryland, That the flag heretofore, and now in use, and known as the Maryland Flag, be and the same is hereby legalized and adopted as the flag of the State of Maryland, which said flag is particularly described, as to coloring and arrangement, as follows: Quartered—the first and fourth quarters being paly of six pieces, or and sable, a bend dexter counter- changed; the second and third, quarterly, argent and gules, a cross bottonly countersigned; that is to say, the first and fourth quarters con- sist of six vertical bars alternately gold and black with a diagonal band on which the colors are reversed, the second and third consisting of a quartered field of red and white, charged with a Greek Cross, its arms terminating in trefoils, with the coloring transposed, red being on the white ground and white on the red, and all being as represented upon the escutcheon of the present Great Seal of Maryland.

  • The First Integration of the University of Maryland School of Law
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Digital Commons @ UM Law The First Integration of the University of Maryland School of Law DAVID SKillEN BOGEN The 1935 court order requiring the University of Maryland School of Law to admit Donald Gaines Murray was the first success of the NAACP's campaign to end segregation in the public schools, but it was not the first time the law school had been integrated. 1 Nearly half a century earlier, in 1889, two black students had graduated from the school. Two other black students attended during the next academic year, but the law school then excluded them and all other blacks until Murray reopened the doors. The story of that first, brief integration of the univer­ sity law school began with the struggle of blacks to be admitted to the bar and ended with the tragedy of virulent racial prejudice. At the beginning of the nineteenth century each court in Maryland controlled the admission of lawyers to practice befure it. None admitted blacks. 2 In 1832 a state statute setting some urllform standards for bar admission limited eligibility to free, white males. This racial restriction may have been prompted by Nat Turner's 1831 rebellion in neighboring Virginia, an event that led the 1831-1832 session of the assembly to enact other laws designed to control both the slave and the free black populations. 3 The codification of racial discrimination made it more difficult to eliminate in later years when white society was more willing to accept the existence of black lawyers.
