Book excerpt: Excerpt from Compilation of Senate Election Cases From 1789 to 1885 The general plan in making up the cases has been to give the reports of committees, majority and minority, in all cases in which there were reports; transcripts from the journals of the proceedings of the Senate relating to them; and inserted references to the debates of each day. In those cases in which there were no reports, extracts from debates have usually been-given. In a few of the early cases, in which the reported debates are brief, the whole debate is given. Each case is accompanied by a head-note stating the points in question and the action of the Senate. I have separated into a class by themselves those cases involving the question of the power of governors of States to fill vacancies; and in connection with these cases is given a list, prepared from the credentials on file, of all the appointments of Senators by gov cruors. It was my original purpose to make a separate class of the expulsion cases, and to make certain other divisions into classes, but as certain of the cases involve several different questions, it seemed better to arrange them all, with the exception of the class first referred to, chronologically. An introduction contains extracts from the debates in the Federal convention of 1787, taken from the Madison Papers, on such parts of the Constitution as relate to the election and qualifications of Senators; extracts from the Constitution relating to the same; and the act of July 25, 1866, relating to the election of Senators.

Download or read book The United States Senate written by Alexander P. Kessler and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Created in 1787, the United States Senate is one of the two chambers of the Congress of the United States, the other being the House of Representatives. In the Senate, each state is equally represented by two members, regardless of population; as a result, the total membership of the body is 100. Senators serve for six-year terms that are staggered so elections are held for approximately one-third of the seats (a "class") every second year. The Vice President of the United States is the presiding officer of the Senate but is not a senator and does not vote except to break ties. The Senate is regarded as a more deliberative body than the House of Representatives; the Senate is smaller and its members serve longer terms, allowing for a more collegial and less partisan atmosphere that is somewhat more insulated from public opinion than the House. The Senate has several exclusive powers enumerated in the Constitution not granted to the House; most significantly, the President must ratify treaties and make important appointments "with the Advice and Consent of the Senate" (Article I). This fully-indexed chronology and institutional bibliography traces the sometimes tumultuous history of this august body.

Download or read book Destruction of the Steamboat Sultana written by Gene E Salecker and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2022-03-15 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sultana was a sidewheel Mississippi steamboat carrying almost two thousand recently-released Union prisoners-of-war back north at the end of the Civil War. At 2:00 a.m. on April 27, 1865, when the boat was seven miles above Memphis, her boilers exploded. Almost 1,200 people perished in the worst maritime disaster in United States history. Gene Eric Salecker covers this disaster in detail and dispels the many myths that have been connected to the Sultana for too long. Almost every author who has written about the Sultana has relied on the words of a few survivors or referred to the works of previous authors to get their story. Advancing the scholarship, the author has visited the National Archives in Washington, DC, to comb through the handwritten transcripts of the three investigative bodies that looked into the disaster or poured over the handwritten testimony from the court-martial trial of Capt. Frederic Speed, the only person tried for the overcrowding of the vessel. In 1996, after extensive research and using the most current sources available at that time, Salecker wrote Disaster on the Mississippi: The Sultana Explosion, April 27, 1865. Still, there were inevitable omissions. After almost twenty-five years of continued research on the Sultana, and all those involved in the disaster, Salecker has gleaned unparalleled knowledge into every aspect of the disaster. His research, covering the National Archives, and thousands of pages of newspapers from around the world and government documents, including pension records and service records, has allowed Gene to tell the story of the Sultana as completely as possible. By bringing his research back to primary sources, Salecker dispels myths and adds to the story of the Sultana. In Destruction of the Steamboat Sultana: The Worst Maritime Disaster in American History paroled prisoners, civilian passengers, guards, crew members, rescuers, and eyewitnesses tell their stories in their own words. The true, and complete, story about the Sultana and the disaster has finally, and fully, been told.
