  1. Why Cabinet Secretaries Should Not Threaten Members of Congress
    Aug 14, 2017
    Cary Coglianese, Gabriel Scheffler and Daniel E. Walters
    Among the many twists and turns in this summer’s legislative drama involving Republicans’ efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, one sideshow revealed an important lesson worth highlighting about American government-specifically, about the appropriate relationship between executive branch officials and members of Congress.

    In the days leading up to the Senate’s late-night crescendo, where Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) joined with Senators Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) to reject a last-ditch effort to pass a “skinny” repeal bill, U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke apparently made phone calls to Alaska’s two Senators threatening adverse departmental actions toward their state if Murkowski did not get behind the health care repeal effort.

    Although Zinke’s phone campaign failed to sway Murkowski, it skirted close to, if not over, the line of illegality. It also flipped the roles of agency officials and members of Congress. The head of an executive department is Congress’s delegate, not its boss.

    The federal Anti-Lobbying Act, for example, prohibits agencies from devoting federal government resources “directly or indirectly” to support “any … telephone [use]…intended or designed to influence in any manner a Member of Congress… to favor, adopt, or oppose, by vote or otherwise, any legislation, law, ratification, policy, or appropriation.” This act exempts “proper” communications in the course of official business, but threatening calls about legislation outside the scope of an agency’s purview seem neither proper nor official.

    Zinke’s alleged conduct also offended the spirit of the Hatch Act’s restrictions on “political activity” by federal officials. Although the Hatch Act typically restricts federal employees’ ability to get involved in campaigns, at least in a colloquial sense the words “political activity” encompass more than campaigning.

    Even more concerning, Zinke may have skirted close to bribery-which occurs when someone “directly or indirectly, corruptly gives, offers or promises anything of value to any public official … with intent . . . to influence any official act.” Dangling federal resources or approval of projects and policies over a U.S. Senator would seem to amount to something “of value

  2. Not sure just how many enemies the Secretary of Interior wants to take on, but he is on a roll.
    At the rate he’s going he’s bound to be the “sacrificial lamb” for the Robber Barons that are hoping to take OUR Public Land and it’s rich natural resources.
    Cabinet member are also expendable.
    Does he fully realize the repercussions of being remembered as the “executioner” of America’s Wild Horses & Burros?
    Will that be his legacy?
