Blending Powers: Hamilton, FDR, and the Backlash That Shaped Modern Congress

BILL FARLEY

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt shaped the role of the modern president in part with his relentless pursuit of grand policies and his ability to marshal historic legislation through Congress. In this article, I focus on one legislative tactic employed by FDR that has received little attention—the detailing of Executive Branch staff to select Senate committees. This tactic, effectively a blending of legislative powers, was used to implement FDR’s ambitious postwar domestic agenda as detailed in his Second Bill of Rights. I find that the tactic, used late in FDR’s presidency, was moderately effective, served as a substitute for the personal energy FDR applied to the presidency in his first term, and created a backlash that contributed to the adoption of the Legislative Reform Act of 1946. With these findings I conclude that FDR deserves credit as a transitionary figure for the modernity of Congress, as well as the presidency.

融合权力:汉密尔顿、罗斯福和塑造现代国会的强烈反对

富兰克林·德拉诺·罗斯福总统塑造了现代总统的角色,部分原因是他对宏伟政策的不懈追求以及他通过国会组织历史性立法的能力。在本文中,我将重点关注罗斯福采用的一种很少受到关注的立法策略——详细说明行政部门工作人员以选择参议院委员会。这种策略实际上是立法权力的结合,被用来实施罗斯福在其第二项权利法案中详述的雄心勃勃的战后国内议程。我发现这种策略在罗斯福总统任期后期使用,效果适中,替代了罗斯福总统在第一任期内运用的个人能量,并引起了强烈反对,促成了 1946 年立法改革法案的通过.
