On April 19, 1972, the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct1 recommended that Texas Representative John Dowdy be stripped of his right to vote on the floor of the House or in committee as a result of his conviction for bribery and perjury.2 On that same day, two Senators argued before the Supreme Court that the Constitution forbids the executive branch from investigating the official conduct of a member of Congress, and delegates all responsibil- ity for punishing members' wrongdoing to each house of Congress.3 Finally, on June 29, 1972, a Supreme Court majority in United States v.
  • Expulsion and Censure Actions Taken by the Full Senate Against Members

    Expulsion and Censure Actions Taken by the Full Senate Against Members

    Order Code 93-875 Expulsion and Censure Actions Taken by the Full Senate Against Members Updated November 12, 2008 Jack Maskell Legislative Attorney American Law Division Expulsion and Censure Actions Taken by the Full Senate Against Members Summary The authority of the United States Senate (as well as of the House) to establish the rules for its own proceedings, to “punish” its Members for misconduct, and to expel a Member by a vote of two-thirds of Members present and voting, is provided in the Constitution at Article I, Section 5, clause 2. This express grant of authority for the Senate to expel a Senator is, on its face, unlimited — save for the requirement of a two-thirds majority. In the context of what the Supreme Court has characterized as, in effect, an “unbridled discretion” of the body, expulsions in the Senate, as well as the House, have historically been reserved for cases of the most serious misconduct: disloyalty to the government or abuses of one’s official position. The Senate has actually expelled only 15 Members — 14 of those during the Civil War period for disloyalty to the Union (one of these expulsions was subsequently revoked by the Senate), and the other Senator during the late 1700s for disloyal conduct. The House of Representatives has expelled only five Members in its history, three during the Civil War period, one in 1980, and another in 2002, after convictions for bribery and corruption offenses related to official congressional duties. In the Senate, as well as in the House, however, other Members for whom expulsion was recommended have resigned from office prior to official, formal action by the institution.

    The Allegheny County Bar in the Eighties Frank C

    The Allegheny County Bar in the Eighties Frank C. McGirk That Iwas admitted to the Bar of Allegheny County in 1880, and am still in the practice of my profession, is most likely the reason Iwas chosen to deliver this address. Iknew the great lawyers of that decade, —many of them intimately, —and frequently tried cases with and against them, and while Ithen knew their peculiarities and abilities, and the many stories then current about them, lapse of time and a failing memory willprevent the repetition of a great many matters of much interest, and jovial happen- ings of those old days. From the earliest days of this County, it has been noted for its great lawyers. Such men as Alexander Ad- dison, James Ross, Hugh Henry Brackenridge, John Woods, Thomas Collins, William Wilkins, Henry Baldwin, James Mountain, Samuel Roberts, Walter Forward, John H. Chap- lin,Neville B. Craig, Charles Shaler, Richard Biddle, John Henry Hopkins, and James Hall, of the early Pittsburgh Bar, and concerning whom, the late Judge Daniel Agnew delivered a most interesting address before the Allegheny County Bar Association on December 1, 1888, made our Bar famous throughout the land and shed great glory on the Pittsburgh lawyer. But the lawyers of the Eighties were just as great. The limits of time allowed me for this address willpermit me to refer only to a small number of those who were fam- ous in the Eighties, and no doubt Imay overlook some whom my brethren at the Bar will think well deserve remem- brance. As Judge Agnew said in his address : "The life of an upright, honorable and learned lawyer is full of instruction.

Sherman was being puffed as a presidential candidate–the last thing either man needed was association with the political “hot potato” of the day. Prosecutors such as the posturing and violent Ohioan John Bingham, were prepared to use their roles in the trial as political launching pads. Defense attorneys could look forward to nothing but vilification. Attempting to explain Ewing’s decision to join the defense, a 1980 television docudrama The Ordeal of Dr. Mudd, would depict a sequence in which General Ewing, walking down a Georgetown street, overheard a frantic Frances Mudd pleading with an attorney to defend her husband. The following scene showed Mrs. Mudd praying in a non- denominational church, only to be approached by General Ewing with an offer to help. Queried as to why a Union officer would undertake the case, Ewing Dr. Samuel Mudd merely quoted his grandfather’s admonition to follow (Libraryof Congress) an honorable path in life. The scene is fictional, if not In what would become the final month of totally implausible, given Ewing’s “lofty ideals.” the war, March, 1865, Tom Ewing went to However, if placed in a Catholic church, the scene Washington to submit his military resignation to would have been credible, especially in a symbolic Abraham Lincoln, a personal friend.
