From Moderator to Leader
In this article, we examine participation in floor debates by U.S. House Speakers in the First through Twenty-sixth Congresses (1789-1841). Consistent with the often-stated view that Speaker Henry Clay of Kentucky transformed the office of Speaker by using the prerogatives of the office more expansively than other early Speakers, Clay stands out among the Speakers of this period for the frequency and length in which he engaged in House debates.

Staff Politics in the Republican House
This article examines recent developments in one of the most important staff units in Congress–the staff of the House Appropriations Committee. We consider changes in staff politics on this committee in light of the competing claims of informational and partisan theories. Drawing primarily on evidence from interviews with current and former Appropriations Committee staff members, and with former chair Robert Livingston (R-LA), we look at the effe…

The Clay Speakership Revisited
The speakership of Henry Clay marks an important period in the early development of American politics and political institutions. The "leadership survival" explanation of the Clay speakership, first proposed in James Sterling Young's, The Washington Community, 1800-1828, has enjoyed wide currency and more recently has been incorporated in work by scholars associated with the "new institutionalism" in rational choice theory. In this article we rev…

Members' Goals and Coalition-Building Strategies in the U. S. House
An important issue raised by recent work which views members of the U.S. Congress as purposive actors is how to conceptualize members' goals. This note proposes that coalition-building strategies employed by congressional leaders may provide empirical evidence bearing on this question. Unlike other sources of evidence on members' goals, appeals made directly by leaders to rank-and-file legislators are not easily discounted as posturing or "positi…
Agenda Change and Committee Politics in the Postreform House
This article examines the effects of agenda changes on the politics of the House Ways and Means Committee over the period from 1975 to 1986. Focusing on partisanship and responsiveness to clientele interests in committee decision making on major tax legislation, the analysis demonstrates that the politics of the reformed committee have been strongly influenced by a series of changes in the economic policy agenda
