	Advice and consent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term "advice and consent" first appears in the United States Constitution in Article II, Section 2.2, referring to the Senate's role in the signing and ratification of treaties in the United States.
		The actual motion adopted by the Senate when exercising the power is "to advise and consent to," showing how proactive advice on nominations and treaties is not a formal power exercised by the Senate.
		For appointments, a majority of Senators are needed to pass a motion "to advice and consent," but a minority of Senators supporting a filibuster can block the passage of the motion, and thus block the appointment.

	DVD Verdict Review - Advise And Consent
		Allan Drury's highly influential and incredibly successful political potboiler Advise and Consent created quite a sensation when it was published in 1959 (I believe that it still holds a record for the longest time spent on the New York Times bestseller list, at 93 weeks).
		Advise and Consent is a movie of the type you rarely see anymore; it's very talky, moves at a languid pace, and doesn't trouble itself with pigeonholing its characters as heroes or villains.
		Advise and Consent represents yet another in the long line of excellent classic releases from our friends at Warner Bros.; "sharp" is perhaps not the best way to describe the transfer, given the muted and somber cinematography, but it is a clean and well-defined picture.

	Majikthise : Advise and consent
		Contestants, your challenge is to explain what how "advise and consent" means "up or down vote on judicial nominees." Remember, you don't have to believe your answer--the leading exponents of this view certainly don't believe it.
		To read it as requiring that the Senate "advise and consent", one would have to read the Constitution not as placing a condition on the success of appointments, but as instructing the President to nominate and the Senate to advise and consent.
		The Constitution instructs the Senate to "advise and consent," which clearly mandates that all Presidential nominees deserve an up-or-down vote of the full Senate if the Presidency and the Senate are controlled by the same political party whose name starts with the letter "R".

	U.S. Senate: Reference Home > Advise and Consent
		The title of the book comes from Article II, section 2 of the U.S. Constitution, which gives the Senate the responsibility to advise the president about nominees and the authority to consent to (approve or reject) those nominations.
		Much of the filming of Advise and Consent was done on location, in the Capitol, the Russell Senate Office Building, and throughout Washington, D.C. During the filming the now-defunct Washington Star sent artist Lily Spandorf to create on-the-spot drawings to be published in their newspaper.
		Since Advise and Consent was published, much has happened in the intervening decades that would invite comparisons, but we are ultimately left with the same conclusion—that the Senate and the institutions that drive our government are resilient and balanced to withstand the politics of power.

		The refusal to hold hearings at all is not advise or consent; it is political flmail which perpetuates the critical number of vacancies on the federal bench.
		He was the author of the Massachusetts state constitution, which Ghorum cited as his precedent for giving the President the power to appoint, and the Senate to advise and consent on, judicial nominees.
		In fact, as the history of the Advice and Consent Clause shows, the founders would have preferred a system which required the President to seek the advice from Senators of states other than the nominee's home state, because they would be less likely to be influenced by that nominee's home-grown political connections.

	The Claremont Institute: The Senate Is Supposed to Advise And Consent, Not Obstruct and Delay
		Ghorum suggested instead that Judges be appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate, as had long been the method successfully followed in his home state.
		These compromises were defeated, however, and the vote on Ghorum's motion — that the President nominate and with the advice and consent of the Senate, should appoint — resulted in a 4-4 tie.
		— the advice and consent power is given to the Senate as a body, not to individual Senators — it at least had natural limits as it has been exercised historically.

	dOc DVD Review: Advise and Consent (1962)
		Novelist Allen Drury (on whose Pulitzer Prize-winning bestseller the film is based) lends the proceedings a fictional flourish, but as a former congressional correspondent for The New York Times, he often chronicled the hearings and strategy sessions he depicts.
		Such experience lends Advise and Consent a wholly authentic feel, despite the parade of stars—led by Henry Fonda, Charles Laughton, Don Murray, and Walter Pidgeon—who continually march through the film.
		Chockablock with conflict and quiet tension, Advise and Consent details the firestorm of controversy the president (Franchot Tone) ignites when he taps Robert Leffingwell (Fonda) to lead the State Department—an act that sends both sides of the aisle into an intense lobbying frenzy.

	The DVD Journal \| Reviews: Advise and Consent
		There are numerous moments of sheer cinematic pleasure in Otto Preminger's Advise and Consent (1962).
		An audio commentary is provided by USC film professor Drew Casper, who offers an impassioned and fast-paced commentary (you can hear his pages shuffling in the background) that covers Preminger's career, the differences between Drury's novel, the intermediary stage play, the final film and its controversial elements, plus career summaries for cast and crew.
		The world of Preminger's Advise and Consent is a man's world; its women are bimbos or hookers (Lawford's fare), asexual housewives aspiring to normalcy, or men's women like Tierney (who is as much a pimp as the man Anderson contacts in NY while searching for his ex-lover).

		Otto Preminger's "Advise & Consent" is, at 138 minutes, somewhat short for a Preminger film, but it also happens to be his best.
		Based on Allen Drury's novel, it outflanks "The West Wing" by a mile in uncovering the devious machinations of Washington D.C. -- machinations which remain very much a part of the status quo.
		Quality on all films is excellent across the board -- all have fine mono tracks except for "The Americanization of Emily" and "Bad Day at Black Rock," which feature stereo surround mixes.

	Advise And Consent - Movie Review
		Otto Preminger turned his eyes from the legal system (Anatomy of a Murder) to American politics in the underseen and tragically underappreciated Advise and Consent.
		Above both of them are senior senators played by Walter Pidgeon and Charles Laughton (clearly on his last legs here, this was his final movie), who play puppetmasters over their younger charges.
		Advise and Consent may not be completely realistic -- and the timing of Consent 's machinations are uncannily tidy -- but as a time capsule look into American politics in the '60s it couldn't be more insightful.

		Three years after Anatomy of a Murder, Otto Preminger examined the body politic in Advise and Consent, a story of power and procedure where deals become extortion, closets reveal skeletons and careers are crushed.
		Hiller's "The Americanization of Emily" is a pathetic attempt to portray World War II as a sham, while the conciliatory pacifism of Otto Preminger's "Advise and Consent" seems naive now that the Cold War has ended.

	Something Old, Nothing New: The Senior Senator From South Carolina
		I found an interesting page called "The Fictional Senate of Allen Drury's Advise and Consent", by David Bratman.
		It goes through the novel Advise and Consent and sets out the names of all the Senators in the novel, their state and party affiliations; it then explains some of the real-life sources for the novel, and summarizes Drury's increasingly unfortunate sequels.
		I was thinking about Advise and Consent because the movie came out on DVD this week, and like the book, it's one of those things that is far more engrossing than it has any right to be.
