Senate Countermajoritarianism
This article is the first comprehensive treatment of countermajoritarian roll call outcomes in the U.S. Senate, 1789-2022. Divergences from majoritarian principles are rooted in part in malapportionment and equal representation by state. Roll calls where a majority of the chamber votes one way while the other side represents most of the U.S. population are frequent across Senate history, depending on the proportion of the population covered by th…
Alaska, Hawaii, and the Congressional Politics of Statehood, 1947–1959
Although seldom the subject of systematic analysis, congressional deliberations about granting statehood to Alaska and Hawaii constituted one of the definitive legislative disputes of the immediate post–World War II era, engaging partisan and ideological cleavages, the divisive racial/sectional politics of the time, the "Red Scare," economic interests, and institutional differences between the House and Senate. Although by the mid-1940s strong su…
A multi-dimensional perspective on young people’s decisions not to go to university
Despite the overwhelming focus on young people who are at either end of the educational or social spectrum in policy and research, vast numbers of young people do not reside at these extremes. Consequently, there have been calls to focus more closely on young people who reside in the ‘middle.’ This paper considers the utility of the concept of a ‘middling’ category through examining four selected case studies of young people as they anticipate th…
Congressional Cohorts
As a result of its size and close ties to the Tea Party movement, the freshman cohort of House Republicans elected in 2010 had a significant impact on the chamber. Compared to other Republicans, the districts the freshmen represented did not tilt more toward the GOP or the Tea Party, nor was their roll call ideology during 2011–2012 statistically distinguishable from that of their more senior colleagues. For votes that were Tea Party priorities, …
The New Democratic Majority in Congress
This paper begins by exploring the impact of the 2006 midterm elections on the distribution of policy preferences within the U.S. House and Senate during the 110th Congress. We then consider the consequences of the new political configuration in Washington for the distribution of power between party leaders and the committee systems in both chambers, the patterns of bargaining that will occur between congressional Democrats and the Bush White Hou…

The Strategic Context of Congressional Party Leadership
This article presents an argument that the dominant scholarly approach to studying congressional party leadership&generally referred to as principal-agent theory&should be redirected to better account for the strategic context within which leaders operate. We begin with a discussion of six related themes, which we believe capture major limitations in existing leadership studies. To further our argument, we then analyze the role of party leadershi…
If It Ain't Broke Bad, Don't Fix It A Lot
The House of Representatives is one of the most dynamic of governmental institutions. Formally and informally, the House regularly revises its rules, procedures, practices, and structures to adapt and adjust to, among other things, membership and workload changes. Absent its capacities for reform, the House would soon find itself unable to meet the diverse challenges of the day. Generally, the House's reorganization imperative is driven by the co…

The Power of Subcommittees
Since the reforms of the 1970s, congressional scholars and critics have widely acknowledged the political importance of subcommittees, suggesting that the modern Congress has been transformed to a state of "subcommittee government." In this essay, we investigate the phenomenon of subcommittee power in four parts. We argue first that the empirical evidence so often cited on this subject is inappropriate to the task of measuring subcommittee power.…

Testing the Converse Partisanship Model with New Electorates
Converse proposed a model drawing on an individual's experience with the vote and socialization by the father to explain the strength of political partisanship. This experience-based model, despite varied criticisms, has gained wide acceptance. By focusing on cases in which political experience and age are not collinear, this article finds that the Converse model fails to account for the strength of partisanship found among new electorates, there…
Age and Turnout Among the Newly Enfranchised
Through comparison of the relationship between age and voter turnout in new and established electorates, this article tests life cycle versus experience‐related explanations of political participation. The relationship between age and turnout for the newly enfranchised should resemble that for the previously enfranchised if life cycle forces dominate: turnout increasing with age until peaking in the middle years, then declining with old age. If e…
