Buenger May 2008 Major Subject: History iii ABSTRACT Truman, Congress and the Struggle for War and Peace in Korea. (May 2008) Larry Wayne Blomstedt, B.S., Texas State University; M.S., Texas A&M University-Kingsville Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Terry H. Anderson This dissertation analyzes the roles of the Harry Truman administration and Congress in directing American policy regarding the Korean conflict. Using evidence from primary sources such as Truman’s presidential papers, communications of White House staffers, and correspondence from State Department operatives and key congressional figures, this study suggests that the legislative branch had an important role in Korean policy. Congress sometimes affected the war by what it did and, at other times, by what it did not do. Several themes are addressed in this project. One is how Truman and the congressional Democrats failed each other during the war. The president did not dedicate adequate attention to congressional relations early in his term, and was slow to react to charges of corruption within his administration, weakening his party politically.

The aM ster of the Senate and the Presidential Hidden Hand: Eisenhower, Johnson, and Power Dynamics in the 1950s Abstract In March of 2010, renowned architect Frank Gehry unveiled his design for a memorial to Dwight D. Eisenhower in Washington, D.C. Centered around an elaborate layout of stone blocks running along a city- block of Maryland Avenue is the featured aspect of Gehry‘s design: a narrative tapestry of scenes from Eisenhower‘s life. Over seven stories tall, the tapestry will impede the view of the building located directly behind it. That building is the Department of Education, named for Lyndon Johnson.1 Decades after two of the greatest political titans of the twentieth century had passed away, their legacies were still in competition.

  • Le Elezioni Di Metà Mandato Negli Stati Uniti Del 2006: Un Referendum Contro Bush E Per Il Governo Diviso
    Saggio 3 Page 85 Thursday, June 28, 2007 3:32 PM LE ELEZIONI DI METÀ MANDATO NEGLI STATI UNITI DEL 2006: UN REFERENDUM CONTRO BUSH E PER IL GOVERNO DIVISO di CRISTIAN VACCARI 85 Saggio 3 Page 86 Thursday, June 28, 2007 3:32 PM Saggio 3 Page 87 Thursday, June 28, 2007 3:32 PM Look, this is a close election. If you look at race by race, it was close. The cumulative effect, however, was not too close. It was a thumping1. (George W. Bush, conferenza stampa alla Casa Bianca, 8 novembre 2006) 1. Introduzione: dinamiche e ricorrenze nelle elezioni di metà mandato Le elezioni del Congresso svolgono un ruolo fondamentale nell’equilibrio democratico dei poteri negli Stati Uniti. Il Congresso infatti, e in particolare il Senato, detiene un’autorità politica e un potere di legislazione e assegnazione dei fondi che si può dire non hanno corrispettivi nei regimi democratici che cono- sciamo (Campus e Pasquino 2003). Sia quando il parlamento è sotto il controllo del partito del presidente (governo unificato), sia quando la maggioranza è dete- nuta dal partito che si contrappone alla Casa Bianca (governo diviso), Congresso e presidenza funzionano infatti, secondo la definizione di Richard Neustadt (1990), come «istituzioni separate che condividono il potere». Anche se il presidente attira normalmente su di sé gran parte dell’attenzione dei media e dei cittadini, le politiche dell’amministrazione devono ottenere l’approvazione di Camera dei Rappresentanti e Senato e questo processo comporta una negoziazione serrata e continua tra esecutivo e legislativo. In questo quadro, le elezioni di metà mandato acquistano una rilevanza par- ticolare, in quanto consentono agli elettori di tenere sotto controllo, attraverso il meccanismo della accountability democratica, sia i propri rappresentanti, sia il pre- sidente stesso, sulla cui condotta nella prima parte del mandato le elezioni fini- scono spesso con l’incentrarsi.
