Chuse. They even spelled it 18th century style. Choose its speaker and other offices. There were no other duties mentioned. It was assumed since the founders knew all about speakers from colonial ledge islators that what the speaker was. A presiding officer, but in our congress the speaker was not only a presiding officer, he quickly became the powerful person because he appointed committees. And that evolved as Party Systems evolved, First Congress didnt have organized parties the twoparty system developed the speaker became the leader of the majority party. And took on political ramifications. The constitution is very silent on this of the powers. The power of the speaker are what the speaker can make of them and thats the unique part of it and some have exercised great power where they even rivalled the presidency in terms of setting the National Agenda. Most of those in recent times, but also 100 years ago, two powerful republican speakers, thomas bracket reed and joe cannon of ill
Would recognize them. The counties, you never would. Gardner ran behind romney. It was a rural issue, not an acrosstheboard issue. The same thing is true in other places as well. Iowa, its less obvious but the same distinction prevails. Then the question is, what does this mean for 2016 if what were seeing is not a uniform swing but a localized swing . And is this a turnout question . Well, ive done two states, colorado and iowa, and colorado keeps moving up. But the differential, if you compare 2014 turnout to the 2012 turnout, is not very great. Its slightly higher as far as the percentage of people voting in rural areas versus urban areas, in 2014 versus 2012, but not enough to explain the difference. The reason joni ernst won is not because republicans were an unusual share of the electorate. The reason why cory gardner is the new senator from colorado is because he won persuadables and a few of them within the denver metro area, not because of massive turnout differentials. If tha
Until 2009. Thats when we saw this explosion of all the stores. Also to get data in order. We have so little data and i think thats really important for good policy to be made before we roll this out and commercialize it, we really need to look at this situation and do it slowly and be very thoughtful and set up the regulations first. Let me add to what happened in 2009 is attorney general holder on behalf of the Obama Administration announced that they were going to depriority ipes marijuana offenses. So even though emailed legalized it in 2000, thats certainly when the momentum started. My pieces of advice, i think would be very simple, to not underestimate the lobby and the industry thats behind this. I think thats something that we are still doing in colorado and i think that the idea that this is a grass roots peoples movement, thats just silly. The idea might be. Decriminalization might be, but legalization in colorado has become completely synonymous with commercializeation. I w
Battle of tal afar. Continuing on to serve in afghanistan afghanistan. And now h. R. , im going to butcher your title. So ill let you give it to me directly. Its Deputy Commander general for training and doctrine command for futures. And then the clunky long title is the Army Capabilities integration center. Im glad i didnt try to memorize that. Arcic. But what h. R. Is really that quite extraordinary combination of thinker and great military leader. There arent that many in our history. There are a few people like general jack galvin but its very few. So were really privileged i think to have somebody with us who has an extraordinarily distinguished record of command including command in combat. With an equally distinguished record as a thinker. He was also i should have mentioned up front a senior fellow at the iiss and remains affiliated with iiss as well. Its wonderful to be here with him particularly since as i said were old friends. The way we thought wed do this is begin it as a
