  • The Executive Power Clause
    ARTICLE THE EXECUTIVE POWER CLAUSE JULIAN DAVIS MORTENSON† Article II of the Constitution vests “the executive power” in the President. Advocates of presidential power have long claimed that this phrase was originally understood as a term of art for the full suite of powers held by a typical eighteenth- century monarch. In its strongest form, this view yields a powerful presumption of indefeasible presidential authority in the arenas of foreign affairs and national security. This so-called Vesting Clause Thesis is conventional wisdom among constitutional originalists. But it is also demonstrably wrong. Based on a comprehensive review of Founding-era archives—including records of drafting, legislative, and ratication debates, committee les, private and ocial correspondence, diaries, newspapers, pamphlets, poetry, and other publications—this Article not only refutes the Vesting Clause Thesis as a statement of the original understanding, but replaces it with a comprehensive armative account of the clause that is both historically and theoretically coherent. † James G. Phillipp Professor of law, University of Michigan.

  • Indiana Magazine of History Volume Xxxv March, 1939 Number1
    INDIANA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY VOLUME XXXV MARCH, 1939 NUMBER1 Land Policy and Tenancy in the Prairie Counties of Indiana* PAULWALLACE GATES The great prairie section of Indiana stretching from the Wabash to the Kankakee today challenges the attention of agricultural economists and social planners because of the high rate of farm tenancy, the large average size of farms, the declining population of the rural areas, the poor tenant homes that do not harmonize with the richness of the sur- rounding soil, and a type of farming which for two gener- ations has been depleting the soil and reducing its ferti1ity.l This section, a continuation of the Grand Prairie of Illi- nois, has had an agricultural history sharply different from that of southern Indiana. In three prairie counties, Benton, Newton, and White, more than half of the farms are oper- ated by tenants and in three others, Jasper, Warren and Tip- pecanoe, over 40% are tenant operated. On the Illinois side of the Grand Prairie the rate of tenancy is even higher. Contrast this with the sixteen counties in southern Indiana which have less than 20% of their farms operated by tenants The largest farms in Indiana are also to be found in the prairie counties. Two farms totalling over 17,000 acres are reported from Newton County, and Jasper and Newton each contain eleven other farms over 1,000 acres in size. In Benton and Newton Counties, the average size of farms is well over 200 acres, and, in White, Warren and Jasper, it is over 160 acres. In few southern counties does the average size of farms exceed 125 acres.

ByV I a y of Introduction WHILE I w as living in the home of that sturdy Puritan governor, William Leete, — my native town of Guil ford, — the idea suggested itself to me that inasmuch as a collection of the biographies of the chief executives of Connecticut had never been made, the work would afford an interesting and agreeable undertaking. This was in the year 1895. 1 began the task, but before it had far progressed it offered what seemed to me insurmountable obstacles, so that for a time the collection of data concerning the early rulers of the state was entirely abandoned. A few years later the work was again resumed and carried to completion. The manuscript was requested by a magazine editor for publication and appeared serially in " The Connecticut Magazine." To R ev. Samuel Hart, D.D., president of the Connecticut Historical Society, I express my gratitude for his assistance in deciding some matters which were subject to controversy.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

    'Memorials of great & good men who were my friends'': Portraits in the Life of Oliver Wolcott^Jn ELLEN G. MILES LIVER woLCOTT, JR. (1760-1833), like many of his contemporaries, used portraits as familial icons, as ges- Otures in political alliances, and as public tributes and memorials. Wolcott and his father Oliver Wolcott, Sr. (i 726-97), were prominent in Connecticut politics during the last quarter of the eighteenth century and the first quarter of the nineteenth. Both men served as governors of the state. Wolcott, Jr., also served in the federal administrations of George Washington and John Adams. Withdrawing from national politics in 1800, he moved to New York City and was a successful merchant and banker until 1815. He spent the last twelve years of his public life in Con- I am grateful for a grant from the Smithsonian Institution's Research Opportunities Fund, which made it possible to consult manuscripts and see portraits in collecdüns in New York, Philadelphia, Boston, New Haven, î lartford. and Litchfield (Connecticut).

  • Records of the Office of Governor, 1820-1858 State Archives Record Group No
    Records of the Office of Governor, 1820-1858 State Archives Record Group No. 005 History Before the adoption of the Constitution of 1818, Connecticut governed itself by the Fundamental Orders (1639) and the Colonial Charter (1662). From 1776 to 1818, the provisions of the Charter remained in force except for the elimination of the words “Crown” and “Parliament.” The Orders and the Charter created the office of the governor, but did not make it an independent executive department. Except when exercising powers in wartime as “Captain-General” of the militia, the governor did not enjoy the powers granted late twentieth-century Connecticut governors. He presided over the General Court, later known as the General Assembly, and could vote only in cases of ties. Under the Charter, he sat as part of the Council, the colonial upper house.
