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.

  • Restoring the Balance of Powers
    “The Founders intentionally placed the power of the government in the hands of the people via their representation in Congress. Yet for many years, Congress has slowly ceded its authority to the executive branch. Rather than taking the time to properly legislate, Congress has passed bills that lack detail and provide gross regulatory authority to unelected federal bureaucrats. Congress seems keen to participate in opaque rulemaking processes, begging bureaucrats to implement policies that align with congressional intent. We’ve seen the effects of this trend in every policy area, from immigration to environmental policies, and health care to foreign aid. It’s time for change. “One of the core tenants of my office mission is to restore the balance of power between the executive and legislative branches to more closely resemble what the Founders intended. I am grateful to FreedomWorks for raising awareness of this need and for the work they do reduce the size of government and promote individual liberty.” Congressman Andy Biggs (AZ-05) “The idea that the federal government is composed of three coequal branches is false. While it is essential that the three branches hold each other accountable, Congress was always intended to be the most powerful for a simple reason: it is the branch that is closest to the people, and is the only branch organized to encourage debate and compromise on the most pressing issues facing America. The founders of this great nation never imagined that Members of Congress would so willingly give away their power and responsibility, but that is exactly what we have done for a century.

  • The House Freedom Caucus: Extreme Faction Influence in the U.S
    The House Freedom Caucus: Extreme Faction Influence in the U.S. Congress Andrew J. Clarke∗ Lafayette College Abstract While political observers frequently attribute influence to ideological factions, politi- cal scientists have paid relatively little attention to the emergence of highly organized, extreme, sub-party institutions. In the first systematic analysis of the House Free- dom Caucus, I argue that non-centrist factions embolden lawmakers to push back against their political party by offsetting leadership resources with faction support. As a result, extreme blocs in the House of Representatives can more effectively dis- tort the party brand. To test these claims, I analyze the impact of Freedom Caucus affiliation on changes in legislative behavior and member-to-member donation pat- terns. I find that Republican lawmakers become (1) more obstructionist and (2) less reliant on party leadership donations after joining the conservative faction. These findings suggest that Freedom Caucus institutions empower lawmakers to more ag- gressively anchor the Republican Conference to conservative policy positions by off- setting the informational and financial deficits imposed by party leaders. ∗Assistant Professor, Department of Government & Law. [email protected], http://www. andrewjclarke.net 0 In 2015, the highly organized and deeply secretive House Freedom Caucus formed in the U.S. Congress. Journalists credited the faction with overthrowing the Speaker of the House, hand-packing his successor, and pushing the House Republican Conference to adopt an increasingly extreme and aggressive posture with the Obama administration — all within a year. Shortly after, Republicans won unified control of the federal government, and the Freedom Caucus quickly reasserted its role a major player in legislative affairs.

The Arizona Republican with a fondness for puns and a passing resemblance to actor Owen Wilson is one of Congress’s mavericks, willing to buck his party on major issues. In his six terms in the House, he was perhaps best known for his long, lonely fight against spending earmarks -- during which he would take to the House floor, armed with amendments targeting Republican and Democratic projects alike. They were easily turned aside, and earned him the disdain of colleagues who saw his crusade as little more than preening for news reporters. They later adopted Flake’s position, banning earmarks -- funds directed to specific projects -- after a string of earmark- related scandals, rising concern over the budget deficit and the 2010 rise of the Tea Party movement. In a sign of the shifting political winds, Flake in the 112th Congress was named to the Appropriations Committee, which had been the epicenter of earmarking and a hotbed of antipathy toward the Arizona lawmaker.
