  • Beyond the Bully Pulpit: Presidential Speech in the Courts
    SHAW.TOPRINTER (DO NOT DELETE) 11/15/2017 3:32 AM Beyond the Bully Pulpit: Presidential Speech in the Courts Katherine Shaw* Abstract The President’s words play a unique role in American public life. No other figure speaks with the reach, range, or authority of the President. The President speaks to the entire population, about the full range of domestic and international issues we collectively confront, and on behalf of the country to the rest of the world. Speech is also a key tool of presidential governance: For at least a century, Presidents have used the bully pulpit to augment their existing constitutional and statutory authorities. But what sort of impact, if any, should presidential speech have in court, if that speech is plausibly related to the subject matter of a pending case? Curiously, neither judges nor scholars have grappled with that question in any sustained way, though citations to presidential speech appear with some frequency in judicial opinions. Some of the time, these citations are no more than passing references. Other times, presidential statements play a significant role in judicial assessments of the meaning, lawfulness, or constitutionality of either legislation or executive action. This Article is the first systematic examination of presidential speech in the courts. Drawing on a number of cases in both the Supreme Court and the lower federal courts, I first identify the primary modes of judicial reliance on presidential speech. I next ask what light the law of evidence, principles of deference, and internal executive branch dynamics can shed on judicial treatment of presidential speech.

  • Doris Kearns Goodwin
    Connecting You with the World's Greatest Minds Doris Kearns Goodwin Doris Kearns Goodwin is a world-renowned presidential historian and Pulitzer Prize-winning author. Goodwin is the author of six critically acclaimed and New York Times best-selling books, including her most recent, The Bully Pulpit: Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and the Golden Age of Journalism (November, 2013). Winner of the Carnegie Medal, The Bully Pulpit is a dynamic history of the first decade of the Progressive era, that tumultuous time when the nation was coming unseamed and reform was in the air. Steven Spielberg’s DreamWorks Studios has acquired the film and television rights to the book. Spielberg and Goodwin previously worked together on Lincoln, based in part on Goodwin’s award-winning Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln, an epic tome that illuminates Lincoln's political genius, as the one-term congressman and prairie lawyer rises from obscurity to prevail over three gifted rivals of national reputation to become president. Team of Rivals was awarded the prestigious Lincoln Prize, the inaugural Book Prize for American History, and Goodwin in 2016 was the first historian to receive the Lincoln Leadership Prize from the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library Foundation. The film Lincoln grossed $275 million at the box office and earned 12 Academy Award® nominations, including an Academy Award for actor Daniel Day-Lewis for his portrayal of President Abraham Lincoln. Goodwin was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in history for No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt: The Home Front in World War II, and is the author of the best sellers Wait Till Next Year, Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream and The Fitzgeralds and the Kennedys, which was adapted into an award-winning five-part TV miniseries.

  • The Bully Pulpit: Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and the Golden Age of Journalism
    The Bully Pulpit: Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and the Golden Age of Journalism Discussion Questions 1. Name several comparisons between the Progressive Era and today. Would you rather be a member of the working class then or now? Who is a contemporary robber baron in your opinion? 2. What was the role of the press then? What is it now? How do they compare? Who is doing the muckraking (reform minded journalism) of today? 3. Talk about the women in this book. What roles did they take on and play at home and in politics? 4. How has your view of Theodore Roosevelt changed since reading this book? Could a modern president do what he did while in office? 5. This is a story of friendship and rivalry. Which other US presidents have experienced both friendship and rivalry? 6. Goodwin could not have written such an intimate portrait of the two men without their letters to each other and to their wives. How will history be recorded for historians in the next 100 years? 7. Doris Kearns Goodwin has noted that Ida Tarbell knew how to make people come to life on the page. How does Goodwin manage to do the same? 8. Steven Spielberg and Dreamworks, the makers of the movie Lincoln, based in part on Goodwin’s Team of Rivals, have acquired the rights to make a film based on The Bully Pulpit. How different would this movie be from Lincoln? Whom would you cast for the parts of Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, Alice Hathaway Lee Roosevelt, Edith Roosevelt, Nellie Herron Taft (she sneaks cigarettes!), Ida Tarbell, Sam McClure? What scenes from Bully Pulpit stick out in your mind as particularly cinematic? 9.

  • The Progressive Era (Chapter 9) I
    The Progressive Era (Chapter 9) I. Origins of Progressivism (Section 1) A. Progressive Movement: not a single movement but a total movement that sought to return control of the government to the people, to restore economic opportunities, and to correct injustices in American life—mostly dealt with urban life B. Four Goals of Progressivism 1. Protecting Social Welfare a. Social Gospel and settlement house movements continued: they helped poor through community centers, churches, social services, etc. b. Other organizations with similar goals were established: 1. Youth Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) opened libraries, sponsored classes, and built recreational centers 2. Salvation Army fed people, cared for children in nurseries, sent ―slum brigades‖ to teach immigrants about hard work and temperance, etc. c. Florence Kelly—a reformer who worked tirelessly for new laws that would prohibit or limit child labor and improve conditions for female workers 1. She helped gain passage of the Illinois Factory Act in 1893 which prohibited child labor and limited women’s working hours 2. She helped organize the National Child Labor Committee 2. Promoting Moral Improvement a. Reformers believed power could uplift themselves by improving their personal behavior b. Prohibition—banning of alcoholic: manufacturing, selling, and transporting of alcoholic beverages 1. Reformers believed that prohibition would reduce crime and the breakup of families 2. Woman’s Christian Temperance Union (WCTU)— founded in Cleveland in 1874—and the Anti-Saloon League (ASL), led the movement 3. Frances Williard was head of the WCTU for sometime and made the group a national force for temperance, moral purity, and the rights of women 4.

Teddy Roosevelt, A Singular Life - The Hauenstein Center for Presidential Studies - Gran... Page 1 of 6 Teddy Roosevelt A Singular Life By Jim Kratsas Vibrant America at the dawn of the Twentieth century was poised yet hesitant to step onto the world stage. A man embodying the energy and promise of the New World came at this opportune time. In eight years, he made America's presence felt across the globe, looked out for the common man, fought injustice wherever he saw it, and took on the political bosses and industrialists. And, if his two heroes, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, had defined the presidency, he modernized it to fit a changing world. Theodore Roosevelt barely survived childhood. Illness might have slowed his body but his mind raced. He transformed his sickly frame into an athletic, rugged body. He not only became a great president, he made himself a world authority on wildlife, wrote prodigiously, fought to expand America's armed forces and became a rancher in the Wild West.
