Presidential Appointments to Full-Time Positions in Executive Departments During the 112th Congress

The President is responsible for appointing individuals to positions throughout the federal government.

This report identifies, for the 112th Congress, all nominations submitted to the Senate for executive-level full-time positions in the 15 executive departments for which the Senate provides advice and consent.

A Retrospective of House Rules Changes Since the 110th Congress (open access)

A Retrospective of House Rules Changes Since the 110th Congress

This report analyzes rules changes made on only the opening day of the 110th, 111th, 112th, 113th, and 114th Congresses, with references in footnotes to other selected legislation and actions during these Congresses that also affected House rules. One of the majority party's prerogatives is writing House rules and using its numbers to effect the chamber's rules on the day a new House convenes. Because all Members of the House stand for election every two years, the Members-elect constitute a new House that must adopt rules at the convening of each Congress.
