Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: I develop a model to explain Senate roll call confirmation decisions for the entire universe of such votes from 1945 through 1996, going beyond prior studies that have only looked at one set of offices at a time (typically, Supreme Court nominations). My theoretical framework assumes senators as strategic actors operating within the confirmation context where many senators, due to partisan and ideological predisposition, must necessarily reconcile two primary sets of conflicting influences: adherence to a norm of deference towards the appointing president that pervades the confirmation environment and advancement of their own policy/party/constituency agendas. Conventional wisdom posits that this norm of deference towards the appointing president?s choices dominates and that senators therefore are generally willing to yield to the White House?s wants. This study finds that the reality in such roll calls is more politically contingent and nuanced than what this accepted view advances. My findings indicate that in addition to the typical influences that explain congressional roll call voting--political party affiliation and ideological orientation of the voting member?there are other independent variables that are also important due to the distinctiveness of the confirmation context: the grounds of opposition leveled against a nominee, the characteristics of the office a nominee is appointed to, the ideological distance between a senator and the appointing president, and the political strength of the appointing president.
