It is never a situation where a select sees one vision and another sees anything else even in the slightest detail.

  • Party Polarization in the U.S. Congress
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-71768-7 - Party Polarization in Congress Sean M. Theriault Excerpt More information 1 Party Polarization in the U.S. Congress One year to the date after the Supreme Court’s Bush v. Gore decision brought the 2000 presidential election to an end, the House of Rep- resentatives passed the Help America Vote Act (HAVA). By passing the bill, which authorized $2.65 billion to help localities both update antiquated voting equipment and recruit, hire, and train poll work- ers, House members hoped they had solved the problems that led to the fiasco in Florida. Three hundred and sixty-two legislators, which included substantial majorities of both parties, voted for the bill’s final passage; only 20 Republicans and 43 Democrats voted against it. Congressional observers and the American public may have been surprised to see the House, an institution criticized for being trapped in partisan warfare, find a bipartisan solution to one of the most highly partisan episodes in American history. Indeed, Democrats and Repub- licans alike praised House Administration Committee Chair Bob Ney and Ranking Member Steny Hoyer for working together to insure that future ballots are properly cast and appropriately counted. Con- gressman Chaka Fattah, a Democrat on the committee, offered the following assessment during floor debate: “I want to thank Chairman Ney, who I think has exhibited extraordinary leadership in moving this forward, and Ranking Member Hoyer, [for] bringing together a bipartisan group of people.”1 1 Congress, House of Representatives, 107th Congress, 1st session, Congressional Record (12 December 2001): H9290.

  • The Executive's Privilege
    PAGE PROOF DRAFT – PAGE NUMBERS SUBJECT TO CHANGE 9/18/2020 Duke Law Journal VOLUME 70 OCTOBER 2020 NUMBER 1 THE EXECUTIVE’S PRIVILEGE JONATHAN DAVID SHAUB† ABSTRACT Both the executive branch and Congress claim the final word in oversight disputes. Congress asserts its subpoenas are legally binding. The executive branch claims the final authority to assert executive privilege and, accordingly, to refuse to comply with a subpoena without consequence. These divergent views stem in large part from the relative absence of any judicial precedent, including not a single Supreme Court decision on the privilege in the context of congressional oversight. In that vacuum—unconstrained by precedent—the executive branch has developed a comprehensive theory of executive privilege to support and implement prophylactic doctrines that render Congress largely powerless in oversight disputes. For the first time, this Article sets out the full extent of the executive branch’s doctrine, the various pieces of which have been expressed in OLC opinions, letters to Congress, and court filings. Existing scholarship largely ignores this doctrine and addresses executive privilege on the basis Copyright © 2020 Jonathan David Shaub † Assistant Professor, University of Kentucky J. David Rosenberg College of Law; J.D., Northwestern Pritzker School of Law; B.A., Vanderbilt University. This article concerns congressional oversight disputes on which I worked as an Attorney-Adviser in the Office of Legal Counsel at the U.S. Department of Justice, but none of the information contained in this article is confidential or subject to any claim of privilege. This paper benefitted mightily from numerous conversations with and comments from my OLC colleagues, particularly Amin Aminfar, John Bies, Martine Cicconi, Kirti Datla, Adele El- Khouri, Caroline Flynn, Troy McKenzie, Annie Owens, Matt Roberts, and Shalev Roisman.

  • Forgotten but Not Lost: the Original Public Meaning of Section 4 of the Fourteenth Amendment
    MCCOMMAS_PROOF (DO NOT DELETE) 9/24/2013 5:39 PM NOTES FORGOTTEN BUT NOT LOST: THE ORIGINAL PUBLIC MEANING OF SECTION 4 OF THE FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT Stuart McCommas* INTRODUCTION N the summer of 2011, an intransigent Republican Congress refused Ito raise the statutory debt ceiling without budget cuts from President Barack Obama.1 Several noted academics called for the President to raise the debt ceiling unilaterally.2 In support of such action, these pro- fessors cited the first sentence of Section 4 of the Fourteenth Amend- ment to the U.S. Constitution. The first sentence reads, “The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppress- ing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned.”3 Those advocating for a presidential power to raise the debt ceiling ar- gued that the first sentence of Section 4, also known as the Public Debt Clause, should be read broadly.4 Under such a reading, the Public Debt * J.D./M.A. 2013, University of Virginia. I wish to thank Professors Caleb Nelson, John Harrison, Sai Prakash, and Michael Collins for their invaluable comments at various points during the writing process. Thank you also to Joseph D’Agostino, Michelle Purdy, Austin Raynor, Nicholas Matich, Cynthia Castillo, and the members of the Virginia Law Review for their excellent feedback regarding the Note. In addition, I want to thank my family, includ- ing my mother, Christine McCommas, whose experience with the Maryland Law Review encouraged my own effort. Finally, I am immensely grateful to my wife, Jen, who never hes- itated to take valuable time away from her graduate studies and teaching to edit my writing and critique my arguments.
