  • Speakers of the House: Elections, 1913-2021
    Speakers of the House: Elections, 1913-2021 Updated January 25, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov RL30857 Speakers of the House: Elections, 1913-2021 Summary Each new House elects a Speaker by roll call vote when it first convenes. Customarily, the conference of each major party nominates a candidate whose name is placed in nomination. A Member normally votes for the candidate of his or her own party conference but may vote for any individual, whether nominated or not. To be elected, a candidate must receive an absolute majority of all the votes cast for individuals. This number may be less than a majority (now 218) of the full membership of the House because of vacancies, absentees, or Members answering “present.” This report provides data on elections of the Speaker in each Congress since 1913, when the House first reached its present size of 435 Members. During that period (63rd through 117th Congresses), a Speaker was elected six times with the votes of less than a majority of the full membership. If a Speaker dies or resigns during a Congress, the House immediately elects a new one. Five such elections occurred since 1913. In the earlier two cases, the House elected the new Speaker by resolution; in the more recent three, the body used the same procedure as at the outset of a Congress. If no candidate receives the requisite majority, the roll call is repeated until a Speaker is elected. Since 1913, this procedure has been necessary only in 1923, when nine ballots were required before a Speaker was elected.

  • House Officer, Party Leader, and Representative Name Redacted Specialist on Congress and the Legislative Process
    The Speaker of the House: House Officer, Party Leader, and Representative name redacted Specialist on Congress and the Legislative Process November 12, 2015 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov 97-780 The Speaker of the House: House Officer, Party Leader, and Representative Summary The Speaker of the House of Representatives is widely viewed as symbolizing the power and authority of the House. The Speaker’s most prominent role is that of presiding officer of the House. In this capacity, the Speaker is empowered by House rules to administer proceedings on the House floor, including recognition of Members to speak on the floor or make motions and appointment of Members to conference committees. The Speaker also oversees much of the non- legislative business of the House, such as general control over the Hall of the House and the House side of the Capitol and service as chair of the House Office Building Commission. The Speaker’s role as “elect of the elect” in the House also places him or her in a highly visible position with the public. The Speaker also serves as not only titular leader of the House but also leader of the majority party conference. The Speaker is often responsible for airing and defending the majority party’s legislative agenda in the House. The Speaker’s third distinct role is that of an elected Member of the House. Although elected as an officer of the House, the Speaker continues to be a Member as well. As such the Speaker enjoys the same rights, responsibilities, and privileges of all Representatives.

    Indiana Law Review Volume 52 2019 Number 1 SYMPOSIUM HOOSIER BRIDESMAIDS MARGO M. LAMBERT* A. CHRISTOPHER BRYANT** Indiana proudly proclaims itself the “Crossroads of America.”1 While some northeast-corridor cynics might deride the boast as a paraphrase for flyover country, there is no denying the political significance of the Hoosier State’s geographical and cultural centrality. As one of Indiana’s most celebrated historians has observed, “[b]y the beginning of the twentieth century Indiana was often cited as the most typical of American states, perhaps because Hoosiers in this age of transition generally resisted radical change and were able usually to balance moderate change with due attention to the continuities of life and culture.”2 Throughout the Gilded Age, elections in the state were so closely fought that the winning party rarely claimed more than slimmest majority.3 At the time, Indiana tended to favor Republicans over Democrats, but the races were close with Democrats claiming their share of victories.4 During these years, voter turnout remained high in presidential elections, with Indiana ranging from the eightieth to the ninetieth percentiles, no doubt a product of the closeness of the contests. Such voter turnout substantially exceeded that typical of surrounding states.5 Hoosiers liked to politick. The state’s high voter participation may also have been, in some part, attributable to its relaxed voting laws for adult males during the nineteenth * Associate Professor of History, University of Cincinnati Blue Ash College. ** Rufus King Professor of Constitutional Law, University of Cincinnati College of Law.

  • You're Fired! Boehner Succumbs to the Republican
    September 28, 2015 You’re fired! Boehner succumbs to the Republican way of leadership by JOSHUA SPIVAK After years of threats, Republican House backbenchers have finally succeeded in effectively ousting House Speaker John Boehner. Boehner, who announced his impending resignation on September 25, joins what once was a very small club but is now growing every few years — the list of Republican congressional leaders who have been tossed to the side by their internal party dynamics. A look at their record shows that “you’re fired” is not just the favored phrase of their party’s current presidential front-runner. Boehner’s failure to maintain power mirrors some of recent predecessors. It is a bit surprising to see the successful coups, as the speaker of the House is easily the most powerful congressional job. Unlike the Senate majority leader, a powerful speaker can bend the House to his will. The roles of speaker and majority or minority leader were historically so powerful that John Barry, in his book on the Jim Wright speakership, The Ambition and the Power, compared a successful attack on the speaker or minority leader to regicide. And yet the Republicans have been very willing to launch these broadsides against their own party leaders. The most prominent example was former Speaker Newt Gingrich, who was credited with leading the Republicans back into the House majority after 40 years in the minority wilderness. But when trouble came, his party faithful were quick to turn. In 1997, other top leaders, including Representative Boehner of Ohio, looked to force out Gingrich.

  • The 'Fiscal Cliff' Opportunity
    October 2, 2012, 6:00 AM The ‘Fiscal Cliff’ Opportunity By BRUCE BARTLETT Bruce Bartlett held senior policy roles in the Reagan and George H.W. Bush administrations and served on the staffs of Representatives Jack Kemp and Ron Paul. He is the author of “ The Benefit and the Burden: Tax Reform — Why We Need It and What It Will Take .” With polls consistently showing a steady lead for Barack Obama in the presidential race, it’s not too soon to start thinking about what he will do the day after the election. In particular, what will be done about the looming “fiscal cliff,” which begins on Jan. 1, when previously enacted spending cuts and tax increases take effect. These automatic tax increases and spending cuts will reduce the budget deficit by about $600 billion next year if all of them are allowed to take effect. This fiscal tightening is equal to about 4 percent of the gross domestic product, and the Congressional Budget Office estimates that it will reduce G.D.P. growth by an equal amount next year. There is evidence that the 1 fiscal cliff is already affecting business investment spending , slowing economic growth. Dealing with the fiscal cliff will undoubtedly be the principal item of business when Congress returns for a lame-duck session. Talks between the administration and Congressional leaders have already begun but have been hampered by questions about who will be president in January, as well as which party will control the House and Senate. Although it appears that the Republicans will retain control of the House while Democrats’ prospects of continuing to have a Senate majority have improved, the majority margins are likely to narrow.

  • GOPAC Strategy and Instructional Tapes (1986-1994) Added to the National Registry: 2010 Essay by Steven Gillon (Guest Post)*
    GOPAC Strategy and Instructional Tapes (1986-1994) Added to the National Registry: 2010 Essay by Steven Gillon (guest post)* Newt Gingrich In 1979, Delaware Governor Pierre “Pete” DuPont IV, and a handful of other governors, created GOPAC to help develop a “farm team” of state and local GOP candidates. Initially, the organization limited its role to providing money to candidates running in tight races. The goal was to chip away at the Democratic dominance in statehouses and city halls. In 1988, however, DuPont was considering a run for president and decided to turn the organization over to a rising Republican star, Newt Gingrich. The Georgia congressman, and former college professor, had already earned a reputation for being both an inspiring speaker and a partisan brawler. Even many Republicans found Gingrich too divisive, partisan, and controversial to be a party leader, but they also knew that he possessed the energy and ambition necessary to transform GOPAC into a powerful arm of the conservative movement. Instead of writing candidates checks, Gingrich sent them information--and lots of it. He used GOPAC to recruit and train a generation of candidates who would talk and think like him. GOPAC distributed thousands of cassettes and videotapes to potential GOP candidates, teaching them to speak “Gingrich.” Gingrich also used GOPAC funds to travel around the country recruiting training and campaigning for candidates. He hired marketing professionals to identify issues--”65 percenters”--that would resonate with a majority of the public. “We are on the way to becoming the Bell Labs of politics,” he bragged. For Gingrich, language was the key to securing a new Republican majority.
