ABOUT THIS BLOG

I shall post videos, graphs, news stories, and other material there. We shall use some of this material in class, and you may review the rest at your convenience. You will all receive invitations to post to the blog. (Please let me know if you do not get such an invitation.) I encourage you to use the blog in these ways:
To post questions or comments about the readings before we discuss them in class;
To follow up on class discussions with additional comments or questions.
To post relevant news items or videos.

There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges.

Committees and Bills

 For next time, Davidson, ch. 8

Simulation committees?

  • How members end up on committees
    • "Steering committees" in HouseSenate (Davidson 195)
    • Speaker-appointed House committees: Rules, House Administration, Intelligence
    • Seniority and other criteria
  • Removals;  The case of Ilhan Omar
  • House and Senate jurisdictions are not quite the same.



LEGISLATION REALLY CAN PASS 

Also see 2019 public lands bill.  

Congress.gov record of the bill

We shall read Jill Lawrence's account of a similar bill from a few years ago.
