  • Caucus and Conference: Party Organization in the U.S. House of Representatives
    Caucus and Conference: Party Organization in the U.S. House of Representatives by Ronald M. Peters, Jr. Department of Political Science and Carl Albert Congressional Research and Studies Center University of Oklahoma Prepared for delivery at the annual meeting of the Midwest Political Science Association, Chicago, Illinois April 25-28, 2002 Abstract The House Democratic Caucus and the House Republican Conference have witnessed both similarities and differences over the course of their respective histories. This paper traces the evolution of the two party organizations and examines their current operation. It is concluded that today they differ from each other in fundamental respects. The Democratic Caucus is a discussion forum. It is coalitional and internal in its focus. The Republican Conference is a public relations firm. It is ideological and external in its focus. Both party caucuses are affected by contextual variables. These include majority/minority status and party control of the White House. The most important factor shaping the two party organizations is party culture, which is shaped by each legislative party's previous history and by the two parties' respective constituency base. This examination of the two party caucuses has implications for theory. On the one hand, similarities in the pattern of meetings, participation by members, and occasional sponsorship of retreats and task forces lend credence to positive theories that seek nomothetic explanations of congressional behavior. On the other hand, the evident differences in the day-to-day operation of the two party organizations, the functions that these organizations perform, and the relationship in which they stand to the party leadership, suggest that any explanation will have to take into account inter-party variation.

Canada is among the best places to live and boasts one of the world’s strongest democracies.1 High levels of freedom and low levels of government corruption are among the reasons why Canadians are some of the happiest citizens on Earth.2 Yet, if you look deeper than their pride in universal health care, in the maple leaf flag, or in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, you will discover frustration with the Gordian knot of party discipline.3 Political parties are essential actors with a reputation problem.4 World- wide, there is democratic malaise, and trust in public institutions, polit- icians, and political parties is eroding. Party memberships, once a source of pride, have become a mechanism for party operatives to collect personal information for the database marketing that fuels polarization. In democ- racies using the Westminster parliamentary system, such as Canada, power is concentrated in executive offices, and partisanship infuses impartial public administration.

  • How Caucuses and Sequential Elections Improve The
    chapter three Iowa Caucus Rules I have never understood the Iowa caucus. — Larry King, CNN he Iowa caucuses are among the most commented-on political Tevents in the world. Whenever there is a competitive presidential nomination for either major party, candidates, reporters, and pundits all leave their comfortable East Coast and West Coast haunts and be- gin camping out in Middle America, a place that many have never vis- ited. And while Iowans (and some others) actively defend the caucus as a shining example of grassroots democracy, others charge that cau- cuses are archaic, arcane, and unrepresentative. The New York Times (2003) once called them “quaint.” Others have been less kind. Over the years the Iowa caucuses have been characterized as “dominated by spe- cial interests” (Wilgoren and Swarns 2004, writing about Howard Dean), “indecipherable chicanery” (Lane 2008), and a “mind- numbingly com- plex system” (Fund 2007). In an article at Slate.com, commentator Jeff Greenfi eld (2007) takes the state of Iowa itself to task for suppressing turnout, since it requires participants to show up in person at a specifi c time of day and stay for a lengthy period of time. He also criticizes Dem- ocrats’ caucus rules for violating precepts of one person, one vote. As we begin our look at Iowa, we want to reiterate our basic point that the rules governing presidential nominations are important. In the case of Iowa, both the sequential voting rules that place Iowa fi rst in the cur- rent nomination schedule and its use of a caucus process rather than a primary election matter by shaping candidates’ campaign strategy, voter participation, and media coverage.

  • Congressional Leadership in the 116Th Congress Background
    Congressional Leadership in the 116th Congress Background Leadership of the House and Senate will meet to determine committee assignments and committee leadership for the 116th Congress. Committee compositions depend on the majority parties in each Chamber, ratio of the majority to minority, leadership negotiations, and House and Senate leadership elections. In the House, eight incumbent committee chairmen are retiring. Republican-imposed term-limits on committee chairmen resulted in five of theretiring members unable to seek another term as chair. The House Republican Conference ratified Committee Ranking Member positions on November 30. In the Senate, Republican retirements have led to open leadership positions on the Foreign Relations and Finance Committees. Democratic leadership changes have been shaped by the loss of Sens. Bill Nelson (D-FL), Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND) and Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO). 1 House Party Leadership Speaker of the House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (CA-05) Kevin McCarthy (CA-23) Majority Leader Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (MD-05) Steve Scalise (LA-01) Majority Whip Republican Conference Chair Jim Clyburn (SC-06) Liz Cheney (WY-AL) Assistant Democratic Leader Republican Conference Vice Chair Ben Ray Lujan (NM-03) Mark Walker (NC-06) Democratic Caucus Chair Republican Policy Committee Chair Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08) Gary Palmer (AL-06) Democratic Caucus Vice Chair NRCC Chair Katherine Clark (MA-05) Tom Emmer (MN-06) DCCC Chair Cheri Bustos (IL-17) 2 House Committee Leadership Procedures Democratic Caucus Procedures Republican Conference Procedures The Democratic Steering and Policy Committee nominates Chairmen, subject to approval to the The Republican Steering Committee nominates Ranking Members, subject to approval to entire Democratic Caucus, with the exception of three committees.
