  • 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.

  • Letter from Stephen Johnson to Governor Schwarzenegger Denying
    UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY WASHINGTON, D.C. 20460 DEC 1 9 2007 OFFICE OF THE ADMINISTRATOR The Honorable Arnold Schwarzenegger Governor of the State of California State Capitol Sacramento, California 95814 Dear Governor Schwarzenegger, As I have committed to you in previous correspondence, I am writing to inform you of my decision with respect to the request for a waiver of Federal preemption for motor vehicle greenhouse gas emission standards submitted by the California Air Resources Board (CARB). As you know, EPA undertook an extensive public notice and comment process with regard to the waiver request. The Agency held two public hearings: one on May 22, 2007 in Washington, D.C. and one in Sacramento, California on May 30, 2007. We heard from over 80 individuals at these hearings and received thousands of written comments during the ensuing public comment process from parties representing a broad set of interests, including state and local governments, public health and environmental organizations, academia, industry and citizens. The Agency also received and considered a substantial amount of technical and scientific material submitted after the close of the comment deadline on June 15, 2007. EPA has considered and granted previous waivers to California for standards covering pollutants that predominantly affect local and regional air quality. In contrast, the current waiver request for greenhouse gases is far different; it presents numerous issues that are distinguishable from all prior waiver requests. Unlike other air pollutants covered by previous waivers, greenhouse gases are fundamentally global in nature. Greenhouse gases contribute to the problem of global climate change, a problem that poses challenges for the entire nation and indeed the world.

  • Proposed Resolution for Endorsement by the San Diego City Council
    Proposed Resolution for Endorsement by the San Diego City Council WHEREAS, the right to free speech afforded by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution is the bedrock of our democracy; and WHEREAS, this right to free speech applies to people, not corporations; and WHEREAS, corporations very clearly are not people but are entities created by the laws of states and nations; and WHEREAS, the United States Supreme Court’s ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission (2010) 130 S. Ct. 876 deemed corporations to be people; and WHEREAS, the Citizens United decision by the Supreme Court overturned a longstanding precedent prohibiting corporations from using general treasury funds to influence our elections, candidate selection, and policy decisions; and WHEREAS, since the Citizens United ruling, Americans have witnessed a massive influx of corporate money into our political process that is without precedent in our nation’s history; and WHEREAS, the Citizens United case directly impacts state and local effortso tcontrol the influence of corporate money in their own elections; and WHEREAS, the Citizens United ruling and its far reaching effects represent serious and direct threats to our democracy; and WHEREAS, the Constitution empowers the people and states to use the constitutional amendment process to correct decisions of the Supreme Court; now, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED, that the San Diego City Council respectfully disagrees with the majority opinion and decision of the United States Supreme Court in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission and calls upon the United States Congress to propose and send to the states for ratification a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United v.

FISCAL IMPACT: While the actual impacts cannot be determined at this time, the potential exists for property tax losses associated with the proposed inclusion of the Dos Rios Ranch property in the San Joaquin River National Wildlife Refuge. To mitigate this fiscal impact, River Partners, a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit corporation and the applicant for the funding needed to acquire the Dos Rios Ranch, has agreed pursuant to their letter dated November 1, 2007, to reimburse Stanislaus County for the current property tax revenue on the parcel from proceeds of lease and usage revenues as the project is developed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.

  • Proposition 14 Implementation on a Hart Voting System
    SB 6 Implementation on a Hart Voting System There are three primary changes to ballot layout that are required by Proposition 14 and its corresponding legislative bill, SB 6. Party Preference Format First, the law amends Elections Code section 13150 to change the format of a candidate’s political party preference on the ballot. Prior to Proposition 14, the party preference of the candidate in general elections would be listed below the candidate’s name and ballot designation, and would not appear on the ballot in primary elections. General election ballots would appear in the following form: Joe Smith Republican Teacher Under Proposition 14, ballots containing candidates for voter-nominated offices in a primary election must now display the political party preference of the candidate, or lack thereof, using the language “My Party Preference is the _________________ Party.” This language is to appear either to the right of the candidate’s name, or directly below the candidate’s name. The information would appear on the ballot in the following form: Joe Smith My Party Preference is the Republican Party Teacher The additional words required to be included in the party preference cause the ballot to approximately double in length. The consequences of a longer ballot include: • Additional labor costs during the ballot inserting and extracting processes; • Additional ballot printing costs of approximately $120,000 per additional page; • Additional postage to mail vote-by-mail ballots to voters; and • Additional postage required for voters to return vote-by-mail ballots. Beyond the additional costs associated with a longer ballot, the extra words reduce the readability of the ballot for voters, as the language reduces the amount of blank space and causes the ballot to appear cluttered.
