Why do Senators have the ability to block hearings for Presidential appointments?

History
1 answer:
Kipish [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Article II, Section 2, of the Constitution provides that the President shall appoint officers of the United States “by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate.” This report describes the process by which the Senate provides advice and consent on presidential nominations, including receipt and referral of nominations, committee practices, and floor procedure.

Committees play the central role in the process through investigations and hearings. Senate Rule XXXI provides that nominations shall be referred to appropriate committees “unless otherwise ordered.” Most nominations are referred, although a Senate standing order provides that some “privileged” nominations to specified positions will not be referred unless requested by a Senator. The Senate rule concerning committee jurisdictions (Rule XXV) broadly defines issue areas for committees, and the same jurisdictional statements generally apply to nominations as well as legislation. A committee often gathers information about a nominee either before or instead of a formal hearing. A committee considering a nomination has four options. It can report the nomination to the Senate favorably, unfavorably, or without recommendation, or it can choose to take no action. It is more common for a committee to take no action on a nomination than to reject a nominee outright.

American involvement in World War I brought
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Extensive black migration to the North

Explanation:

From 1916-1970, 6 million African Americans migrated from the Southern states to the North, mostly for social reasons (escape from racial hatred, evade Jim Crow laws, meet up with black communities in the North) and economic opportunities (more factory jobs).  This is known as The Great Migration.

The other answers can be eliminated since (and I'm not 100% sure about this one, but assume that) the huge increase in factory workers for the war effort in World War 1 meant that trade unions became more appealing to workers so they could negotiate wages and benefits with industry managers.  After all, the purpose of a trade union is to protect the interests and rights of the workers, so trade unions likely did not decline.

"Loosing of controls on freedom of speech" is incorrect because of the Espionage Act of 1917, where the government could imprison you for disagreeing with them, like when Socialist Party leader Eugene Debs was sentenced to 10 years for saying the wrong things.

And for the last answer: the number of women in the workplace EXPLODED after the U.S. entrance into WWI; since so many men were sent to Europe, someone had to take their place at work, especially in factories that contributed ammo and other supplies for the war effort.
