Ferri and Seres took a leap of faith and closed on the site during a fire sale in 2015, following the Christian Brothers’ declaration of bankruptcy. When enjoying cocktails on the 5,000 sq ft deck and gazing out at Vanderbilt Mansion, it’s difficult to imagine how difficult the road to opening really was. Of course, the owners had a global pandemic to contend with on top of everything else. “Because of our proximity to SUNY New Paltz, Marist College, and some of the other colleges, we have a great network of educators that know about this property who specialize in certain fields. We’ve had somebody come through who knew about the architecture because he teaches architecture.

He also supported other local producers through his operation at Gardiner Liquid Mercantile. This expert revealed that Hudson House served as a major stop along the hobo circus. Because of the freight train bifurcating the property—Hudson House is one of two destinations along the river that has an underpass—riders would leap off the train and follow a trail up the hill.

The distillery and tasting rooms are currently in a soft launch phase, with property tours running Fridays through Sundays from 12-6pm and a slew of upcoming events scheduled.

For the first time in 150 years, this stunning West Park property opens its grounds to the public.

The Hudson House New York is the first of its kind waterfront destination distillery. A craft distillery in the cellar of a former monastery, event space and soon-to-be-boutique hotel located in the heart of the Hudson Valley. Situated on an iconic 27-acre waterfront property enabling both land and water access, The Hudson House is home to a one-of-a-kind farm distillery, producing ultra-premium, limited batch spirits. The Hudson House New York is a destination experience like no other and the first of its kind in the region.

One of our consultants runs the graduate program of archaeology at SUNY New Paltz, and his forte is 1920s Americana,” Seres says. “When you look around the entire nation, I kid you not, there is nothing like this at all, anywhere. But, it’s taken us an enormously long time to get here,” co-founder Charles Ferri says. Ferri and his partner, Paul Seres, spent five long years bringing their concept to fruition. With a strong focus on sourcing seasonal local ingredients, the menu is ever changing and evolving based on availability, insuring the freshest ingredients.

And finally, seeing first-hand the distillery operations in the cellar of the former monastery. The tour will conclude with a tasting and discussion of our limited batch world class spirits and what makes them so special. On a quiet stretch of 9W dotted by farms and vineyards, there is a corridor of Catholic institutions—historic monasteries, schools, and camps that have quietly existed along the river for over 100 years. In the 1850’s, Archibald Russell, a known philanthropist and founder of Ulster County Savings in Kingston, built a home for his family on an estate known as Glen Albyn.

The 77th annual Tony Awards, hosted by Ariana DeBose, will air live on CBS starting at 8 p.m. ET/5 PT on Sunday, June 16, from the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City. The live broadcast will be preceded by a streaming preshow on Pluto TV at which some awards will be handed out.

Archibald died in 1871 and his widow, Helen, sold the Glen Albyn estate to the Durkee family in 1885. The Durkee’s were proprietors of one of the country’s leading spice businesses and eventually condiment producers. “At the time, Charles had stepped away from venue management and was moving towards product development. He created Star Vodka and was building up a name for it in the city,” Seres says.

There’s another candle company up in Hudson we’re looking to do something with…. So you’re coming into our world, coming to this experience, and you’re leaving knowing you experienced something very unique and different and representative of the greater Hudson Valley,” Ferri enthuses. Hudson House also features craft beverages from other local producers under a private label. It showcases Mill House Brewing Co.’s light lager and Kolsch, Millbrook Winery’s award-winning Tocai, and several wines from the Finger Lakes region.

Early visitors will get a taste of primary offerings Black Creek Bourbon and Black Creek Rye, the latter of which will join the official Empire Rye designation. To produce Empire Rye, a distiller must source 100-percent of its ingredients from New York growers. Another bourbon will utilize local maple syrup for a subtle sweetness, and the team will soon tap trees on the own property for sap. Black Creek Whiskey’s label contains a photo of the property in the 1800s, back when the Durkee family owned it. Bottle releases are always small-batch collector’s items, with their own identifying “Easter eggs.” Seres and Ferri strive to reveal the Hudson Valley’s history to visitors far and wide through their labeling. Potential future plans include a cinnamon whiskey referencing the burning of Kingston in 1777, and paying homage to local heroes like Sojourner Truth.

Ferri notes the basement’s likeness to “an old catacomb, waiting to be explored.” When working on the tasting room upstairs, the team unearthed an original brick fireplace. Tables and other pieces used wood harvested onsite, with other treasures still waiting to be discovered. Local government from the Town of Esopus nominated this a priority project for the region. The proposal included a 25-room hotel, a 10,000 sq ft ballroom, restaurants, and more.

My wife caught a glimpse of this site driving on 9W and encouraged me to check it out. We snuck onto the property, and our first glimpse of the river blew us away,” Ferri recalls. In a pure moment of synchronicity, what is now Hudson House hit the market less than a week prior.

A hand pump to a cistern, which remains intact to this day, provided them fresh water. Residents of the monastery left out extra food, soap, towels, and other supplies. Hobos rested onside, cleaned themselves up, and went back down the trail to jump aboard the next train to pass by.

Daniel Radcliffe is a lock for Merrily, and Steven Skybell gave the most likable performance in Cabaret as the Jewish merchant Herr Schultz. Brandon Victor Dixon was unforgettable despite limited stage time in Hell’s Kitchen, and Michael Urie was the single funniest performer in a very funny Spamalot.

Spirit aficionados travel far and wide to experience tastings in atmospheric cellars and on bucolic farms. Shaina Taub’s brilliant Suffs, Alicia Keys’ joyous Hell’s Kitchen and the exhilarating Sufjan Stevens-Justin Peck dance-musical hybrid collaboration Illinoise are — or should be — sure bets. I’m less sure about the final two slots, but I’ll go with Days of Wine and Roses, a lovely, low-key but wrenching tale of alcoholism during New York’s Mad Men era. And while Lempicka was an uneven account of the sadly forgotten 20th century artist Tamara Lempicka, it had more than enough moments to join the race. Schedule a tour to learn more about how this incredible one of a kind distillery came to life and overcame enormous challenges over 6 years. They gutted the entire basement, ending up with 12 ft-high ceilings, German copper stills and columns, and a small lounge with a picture window peering into the distillery.

Hudson House & Distillery Offers River Views and a Rich History

Ferri and Seres are actually the fourth owners of this gem; three different constructions altered the building completely in the 1850s, 1870s, and 1930s. Hudson House sits on 27 acres of a larger parcel of 400 acres formerly owned by the Congregation of Christian Brothers. A Union colonel, Archibald Russell built the original Italian-style manor house just before the Civil War.

He later parceled off the three estates and sold the house to the Durkee family, famous for their line of spices. It was a wedding gift for their daughter, and they were responsible for the 1870s additions. After them, the Christian Brothers purchased the property in the 1920s and built their monastery in 1933. Introducing Altair Vodka, a twice pot distilled and 30X micro-distilled spirit using our naturally soft mineral water.

“I kept doing events, running a venue called the DL in the Lower East Side, and Charles was promoting Star Vodka on the rooftop.” The pair sipped vodka together, riffing back and forth about different ideas. Seres is one of the founders of the NYC Hospitality Alliance, a vast network of future allies. They connected right away and shared the same dream of opening a one-of-a-kind all-in-one destination.

A vodka so unique and smooth with flavor there is no need for mixers it stands on its own. The goal was to have a name that represented the property and vision and evolved from Star which was a west coast brand now migrating to the Hudson Valley. A fascinating story has unfolded in creating Altair Vodka which leads us to believe it was meant to be. Our vision is to share our story and experience through our world class spirits, and our breathtaking property and deliver what Hudson Valley has to offer, to the world.

Part of what makes our spirits so special is the water from an onsite old artesian well that taps into a Catskill aquifer. As that water travels to Hudson House, it passes over limestone creating our naturally soft mineral water we call our "Holy Water" which is used in all of our craft spirits. Seres and Ferri spent weeks in the basement fumbling their way through the assembly of the stills. (“There’s no instruction booklet to put distillery equipment together!” Ferri says). They’ve hired a distiller who most recently worked at Hillrock Estate and at Tuthilltown (which Ralph Erenzo founded) in its early days. Luckily, Seres and Ferri had foresight to start their first batch years ago.

Technically speaking, Hudson House owns about 25 ft of the river, since Colonel Russell secured right of dock and riparian rights for the property’s shoreline. At Hudson House & Distillery, visitors sip small-batch bourbons and rye whiskeys with a breathtaking backdrop of the river. Grain-to-glass producers turn the region’s rich bounty into award-winning whiskeys, gins, and more.

Fall 2021 marks an official grand opening for Hudson House New York, but, until then, eager fans can stop by during a series of “whisper openings” in August. During the events, guests can catch live jazz performances and sample first batches on the weekends. We want people to come here for the experience, and to form new memories through our storytelling,” Seres says.

Its first phase includes a tasting room adorned with original brick wood accents, an expansive four-season deck overlooking the Hudson’s eastern shores, and a beautiful bridal suite. Down the road, this all-in-one destination will unveil a 25-room hotel, indoor and outdoor wedding event spaces, and more. Our craft distillery is located in the cellar of a former monastery and uses custom made equipment from Kothe distilling systems in Germany. Constructed in the 1850s, the historic building sits on 27 riverfront acres and spent the last century as a monastery. When entrepreneurs Charles Ferri and Paul Seres purchased the property from the Vatican in 2015, they became the fourth owners ever. Learn how the Founders overcame enormous challenges over a 6-year period, finally succeeding in creating the first of its kind waterfront destination distillery in the USA.

This $14 Million Castle in Wyoming Sits on 40 Acres With Scenic Views

There’s a helipad on top of the castle, to park a modern-day sky chariot. Heiner’s great-grandfather, Charles, built the community’s first sawmill and eventually came to own a lot of land both in and around Bedford, where the late Deon Heiner would eventually build his castle. The castle at 2150 Robinson Lane in Bedford, Wyoming, was built on land the Heiner family has owned for generations, going back to some of Star Valleys first settlers. Other amenities include double-coal boilers and a rampart greenhouse.

Foot-Tall, 40-Room Castle For Sale In Bedford, Wyoming, For $14 Million

While the castle’s appearance feels true to castles of old, there are plenty of modern amenities in the Heiner Castle. The tunnels connect the castle to the shop, where there’s a 30-by-30-foot vault — just right for storing chests of dragon’s gold, perhaps, or pirate treasure. Just laying the 1 million bricks on the original part of the castle, which covers 25,000 square feet of land with 40 rooms, took eight years, Kunkle said. The roof is made of thick copper which has weathered an eye-catching shade of green.

Then there’s the view from the castle’s towers at more than 8,000 feet above sea level — talk about sitting on top of the world, looking down on creation. Family members have reported watching storms in the tallest, 100-foot spire, and looking down on the lightning from above. Many children grow up dreaming of one day living in a castle, but Deon Heiner of Bedford, Wyoming, actually did it. He built his fabulous 100-foot-tall Heiner Castle at 8,000-some feet of elevation. The interior, meanwhile, looks just like one would imagine from a modern-day castle to look. There’s a blend of stone walls sourced from Brazil, Italy, Ecuador and Turkey, combined with huge oak beams and polished wooden trim.

Built in 1911, this home has 4 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms. Features include lots of cabinet space in the kitchen, original hardwood flooring upstairs, quartz countertops in kitchen, new interior paint throughout and updated downstairs flooring. Outside, you’ll enjoy the wraparound porch and corner lot. This home is centrally located and close to downtown Casper restaurants and events as well as area schools. The back addition on the castle took an additional five years to build. It’s made of cast-in-place concrete with long, narrow windows, just like an authentic old castle with turrets, holds, and keeps.

Lot 77 Redwood RoadStar Valley Ranch, WY 83127

In all, 7,000 cubic yards of concrete were bought up the mountain to build the 9,470 square feet of living space with five bedrooms, seven baths and extensive other living spaces. Through the home’s corridors, you’ll come across plenty of arched doorways made of stone or wood, while vaulted ceilings add volume to the private family spaces such as the informal dining area and kitchen. Private chefs and amateur cooks alike will appreciate the kitchen’s two islands, two ovens, and both electric and gas stovetops. The two towers are just one of Heiner Castle’s many unique features.

Compass Real Estate Agent Patty Speakman, who co-listed the property with Kunkle, loves the property’s spectacular views, which are visible from each of the castle’s many windows. The shop also includes plenty of space for mundane treasures like boats, snowmobiles and tractors. The 40 room, 100-foot-tall Heiner Castle -- which took 8 years to build -- is listed for $14 million. Other highlights include a formal dining room, an office, and a fitness/game room. Given the size of the home, the primary bedroom is on the small side (and could use a bit of updating) but does benefit from a wood-burning fireplace.

Driving up to the home, its aged copper turrets come into focus first. Patinated copper accents and stout towers on either side of the copper front door speak to its medieval influences. Two sets of glass doors lead to a balcony with a pretty view over the grounds. Similar to Anna and Elsa’s regal residence in Disney’s Frozen, a castle in Wyoming—that’s right, Wyoming—doubles as a whimsical residence with breathtaking mountain views. Dubbed Heiner Castle, the palatial pad sits on a majestic 40-acre estate in the agricultural community of Bedford, which is near the border with Idaho at the foot of the snow-capped Wyoming Range and is beloved for its rural beauty. For a cool $14 million, now you can be king, queen, or just the non-royal owner of the eye-catching castle.

It’s maintained to look that way thanks to special limestone blocks that release salt, which keeps the copper oxidized. The beefy balusters and handrails are white limestone sourced from the same quarry as Solomon’s temple in Jerusalem, while the fireplace stone was sourced from North Dakota. It’s like some sort of chameleon stone, changing colors throughout the day depending on the light.

The song samples the drum break from "Impeach the President" by The Honey Drippers. The track currently setting charts alight is “G.D.F.R.” (which stands for Going Down For Real) – showing that this generation are now too lazy to read more than three words in their song titles. The acronym isn’t used once, and despite it being nothing more than a dance song with Flo Rida tying the drop together with his forgettable rhymes, it’s impossible to ignore something so catchy.

Some Twins Made ‘WAP’ Into A Song About Guacamole #legit

With its universal appeal and uplifting message, it’s no surprise that “My House” has become a modern classic and a staple of modern pop music. No matter who you are or what your situation may be, “My House” invites you to join in and celebrate the joy of life. Throughout the song, Flo Rida encourages his listeners to let loose, dance, and have fun. The lyrics are filled with references to partying and celebrating, but there is also an underlying message of community and togetherness. By creating an environment of joy and acceptance, Flo Rida suggests that people can tap into their own potential for happiness and fulfillment. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Flo Rida stated, “I love music that tells a story.

For many listeners, this message resonates beyond the realm of real estate or material possessions. Instead, the song is about feeling confident in who you are and what you have to offer. Next, I Don’t Like It, I Love It has a disco-funk feel to it, almost as if Nile Rodgers has given it a touch of magic.

Song Meanings & Facts

If you aren’t a fan of R&B singers cashing in on the EDM movement, Chris Brown’s arm-waggling performance on “Here It Is” isn’t going to impress, and provides nothing new to fans either way. In conclusion, “My House” by Flo Rida is more than just a catchy party song. It is a declaration of personal empowerment, a call to positivity and community, and an anthem for the everyday person.

Year-end charts

Finally, “My House” was released as the third single in October 2015, but didn’t reach its peak of 4 until March 2016. It debuted at No. 96 on the Billboard Hot 100 but soon rose to No. 4 on the said chart, making it the rapper’s 7th single to make top 5 in the US. The sudden rise in the song’s position on the chart was as a result of a half-time splendid performance put up by the rapper during an NFL playoff game in January of 2016. “My House” is a single from an EP of the same name by American rapper, Flo Rida. At its core, “My House” is a song about personal empowerment and ownership. The chorus, which repeats the phrase “Welcome to my house,” serves as a declaration of someone who is proud of their domain and wants to share it with others.

After the success of G.D.F.R late last year, the rapper has finally dropped EP, My House, featuring the top 10 hit and six additional tracks.

One of his most recognizable hits is the 2015 track “My House,” which has served as the soundtrack for countless dance parties and club nights. But beyond the catchy beats and infectious lyrics, what is the meaning behind “My House”?

"Islands in the Stream" was originally written by The Bee Gees as an R&B song. It was originally written by the brothers for Marvin Gaye, however it was recorded instead as a duet by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton with the Gibb Brothers also contributing vocals. It picked up the storyline of their "Gimme All Your Lovin'" video about a guy who encounters three beautiful women.

Music

The same can be said for “I Don’t Like It, I Love It” which sees Robin Thicke try to balance his books with his next stab at a monumental summer anthem. Purists may scoff at Flo Rida’s music, but there’s no denying that the dude can rap. There aren’t many tracks of his with verses that pop fans can recite willy-nilly, and while he’s no Pharoahe Monch or Black Thought, he does drop some flows that ride the beat well. Whether you enjoy Flo Rida’s rhymes or not, his choice of music to rap to is divisive and pushes the boundaries of what many would consider Hip-Hop. It’s fun, good-natured music you can dance to, and is well suited to the imminent BBQ season.

Where Chris Brown treads, success seems to follow and as the singer features on Here It Is, it is unsurprisingly the best track on the EP. With definite potential to be a club smash this Summer, it would be the perfect choice for a follow-up single to G.D.F.R. In the middle of the EP, Wobble is slightly overshadowed by the tracks around it but given that it samples Little Willie John‘s ‘I’m Shakin‘ from the 1950s, the production still feels very contemporary.

“My House” recorded first week sales of over 8,000 copies within the United States alone. We ring the Hell's Bells to see what songs and rockers are sincere in their Satanism, and how much of it is an act. "Kiss On My List" by Hall & Oates is actually an anti-love song - the kiss is just one item on a list, and by no means the best.

Whom the vocalist (Flo Rida) is welcoming into his home is his romantic interest. As such this is a love song, a relatively-mild one as far as hip-hop artists are concerned. Apart from collabs with the likes of Robin Thicke and Chris Brown, it contains a variety of sleeper hits. Although Flo Rida is a successful global artist, he has always maintained a down-to-earth attitude and a connection to his roots. The song celebrates the everyday experiences that bring people together and acknowledges the hard work and perseverance that it takes to achieve success. WhatSong is the worlds largest collection of movie & tv show soundtracks and playlists.

Robin Thicke also makes an appearance on the track, and while it may not live up to Blurred Lines‘ worldwide success, it is undoubtedly the best song he’s featured on since. Flo Rida makes a decent attempt with smooth lyrics but it’s hard to enjoy them while a voice that resembles a chipmunk chimes away mainly incoherent words in the background. The EP, “My House” was released on the 7th of April, 2015 as the rapper’s second extended play of his music career.

As of 2021, “My House” has over 1 billion views on YouTube and has been certified six-times platinum in the US. The song has also been featured in countless movies, TV shows, and commercials, making it an enduring cultural touchstone. The rapper’s appearance on American TV show, “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” and an April, 3 feature on WWE’s 32nd edition of WrestleMania as its theme song also helped promote the song. First, “GDFR” was released in October 2014, but didn’t reach its peak of 8 until April 2015. Then, “I Don’t Like It, I Love It” was released as the second single in June 2015, but didn’t reach its peak of 43 until September.

Because only one of the tracks has been whored by the radio and music video channels. Ask me if I enjoy this EP later in the year when the Robin Thicke single has been abused more than a Flo Rida whistle sample, and I may be sick of Mr. Rida and his industry formulae. He hasn’t built a career around great, memorable LPs so as far as a throwaway slice of accessible rap goes, there’s few doing it as well. “Wobble” lacks some of the punch that the rest of the songs possess; a minimal guitar-driven beat is catchy enough but does feels flat. Despite his reliance on guest vocalists on singles, Flo Rida is perfectly capable of lacing hooks on his lonesome – “My House” (the song) proves this.

In this article, we’ll explore the various interpretations of the song and how its message has resonated with audiences around the world. "My House" is a song by American rapper Flo Rida from his 2015 EP of the same name. The song was released as the album's third official single on October 13, 2015 in the US.

With its universal appeal and uplifting message, it’s no surprise that “My House” has become a modern classic and a staple of modern pop music. No matter who you are or what your situation may be, “My House” invites you to join in and celebrate the joy of life. Throughout the song, Flo Rida encourages his listeners to let loose, dance, and have fun. The lyrics are filled with references to partying and celebrating, but there is also an underlying message of community and togetherness. By creating an environment of joy and acceptance, Flo Rida suggests that people can tap into their own potential for happiness and fulfillment. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Flo Rida stated, “I love music that tells a story.

Finally, “My House” was released as the third single in October 2015, but didn’t reach its peak of 4 until March 2016. It debuted at No. 96 on the Billboard Hot 100 but soon rose to No. 4 on the said chart, making it the rapper’s 7th single to make top 5 in the US. The sudden rise in the song’s position on the chart was as a result of a half-time splendid performance put up by the rapper during an NFL playoff game in January of 2016. “My House” is a single from an EP of the same name by American rapper, Flo Rida. At its core, “My House” is a song about personal empowerment and ownership. The chorus, which repeats the phrase “Welcome to my house,” serves as a declaration of someone who is proud of their domain and wants to share it with others.

The song samples the drum break from "Impeach the President" by The Honey Drippers. The track currently setting charts alight is “G.D.F.R.” (which stands for Going Down For Real) – showing that this generation are now too lazy to read more than three words in their song titles. The acronym isn’t used once, and despite it being nothing more than a dance song with Flo Rida tying the drop together with his forgettable rhymes, it’s impossible to ignore something so catchy.

If you aren’t a fan of R&B singers cashing in on the EDM movement, Chris Brown’s arm-waggling performance on “Here It Is” isn’t going to impress, and provides nothing new to fans either way. In conclusion, “My House” by Flo Rida is more than just a catchy party song. It is a declaration of personal empowerment, a call to positivity and community, and an anthem for the everyday person.

Whom the vocalist (Flo Rida) is welcoming into his home is his romantic interest. As such this is a love song, a relatively-mild one as far as hip-hop artists are concerned.

"Kiss On My List" by Hall & Oates is actually an anti-love song - the kiss is just one item on a list, and by no means the best.

For many listeners, this message resonates beyond the realm of real estate or material possessions. Instead, the song is about feeling confident in who you are and what you have to offer. Next, I Don’t Like It, I Love It has a disco-funk feel to it, almost as if Nile Rodgers has given it a touch of magic.

As of 2021, “My House” has over 1 billion views on YouTube and has been certified six-times platinum in the US.

In 1790 this chandelier was shipped from London to a resi­dence in Lisbon, Portugal, that later became the British embassy. When it arrived at the White House in 1951, it had never been electrified; it was still lighted with candles. It was hung in the Family Dining Room, where it has provided an elegant setting for family and official luncheons and dinners. Similar chandeliers were donat­ed for the second-floor corridor and the West Sitting Hall. With their new paint, furni­ture, fabrics, and carpets, the renovated rooms had a fresh, clean, rather spare appearance. Reporters commented on the “smartness” of interiors that had been “purified” in authentic fashion.11 It no longer seemed like the old house that had been part of 150 years of national life.

The 56-year-old also opened up about her own mental health struggles and successes. She experienced childhood depression after being molested at age 7, she said, and, because of that she knew well the feeling of “not wanting to be here.” However, she started treatment in for her unresolved childhood grief and sexual trauma. A day after Naomi Judd’s death, the Country Music Hall of Fame moved forward with the induction of her and daughter Wynonna.

First lady Hillary Rodham Clinton unveiled a renovated Blue Room in 1995.

She tapped socialite, philanthropist, and horticulturalist Rachel Lambert "Bunny" Mellon to design the project.

First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy was very passionate about historic preservation, and it was her efforts that led to the formation of the White House Historical Association, a non-profit organization that aims to preserve the White House’s history and make the home more publicly accessible. She was also the reason the White House was declared a museum, thereby ensuring its preservation for decades to come. In 1882, President Chester Arthur enlisted Louis Comfort Tiffany to reimagine the Red Room, the Blue Room, the East Room, and the Entrance Hall, the latter of which soon welcomed the addition of a stained glass screen, in true Tiffany style.

During Mrs. Kennedy’s first year as First Lady, she oversaw a $2 million renovation of the White House. Following the completion of the project, Jacqueline Kennedy gave a televised tour of the White House, which aired on NBC and CBS to over 80 million viewers on Valentine’s Day of 1962. This was the second televised tour of the White House (see Harry S. Truman’s 1952 tour here), and the first ever First Lady-led televised tour of the iconic house. (Yes, really!) In 1933, an indoor pool was installed in the People’s House, at the request of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who used swimming as a form of therapy to help with his polio.

The residence has also been called “President’s House,” or “President’s Mansion.” In 1901, President Theodore Roosevelt changed the official name to “White House,” a moniker that had been used throughout the 19th century. “There had been a pool inside the White House added by Franklin Roosevelt that he would use as exercise for his polio, but later, Gerald Ford wanted an outdoor pool,” says Fling.

The White House interiors have been reinvented numerous times over the 220-year history of the building, and the decor tends to perfectly encapsulate both the time period and the First Family living there. Dorothy Draper protégé Carleton Varney served as Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter's "design consultant," styling state dinners and overseeing Christmas decor.

Other buildings on the campus in Arcata are at risk of being occupied, and protesters “have shown a willingness” to lock themselves in facilities and steal equipment, the officials said. The university closed its campus Wednesday evening as LAPD began arresting demonstrators. At one point during the demonstrations, tensions escalated as protesters refused to relocate and remove their tents and other prohibited items, a university official said. "The university is a private campus and the group had been violating some of their orders. It was a trespass at that point and we assisted with the arrests," Los Angeles Police Captain Kelly Muniz said during a briefing.

In the years since Trump took office, at least $3.4 million has been spent to revamp the White House to better suit his aesthetic—including a highly controversial revamp of the Rose Garden. In the 1980s, the Reagans hired Ted Graber, a decorator from Beverly Hills, to bring their vision to life. In the process, many antique furnishings were replaced with 20th century decor, straying from typical White House decorating traditions.

The period of time that a legislator must be out of office before being able to run again is usually two years. In the House of Representatives, the majority party holds significant power to draft chamber rules and schedule bills to reach the floor for debate and voting. In most cases, House rules will limit debate so that important legislation can be passed during one legislative business day. The U.S. Congress is the legislative branch of the U.S. government. Congressional elections determine who represents your state in the federal government and which political party will hold a majority in each chamber for the next two years. Gingrich attempted to pass a major legislative program, the Contract with America and made major reforms of the House, notably reducing the tenure of committee chairs to three two-year terms.

Tenure of Senators

Each standing committee considers, amends, and reports bills that fall under its jurisdiction. Committees have extensive powers with regard to bills; they may block legislation from reaching the floor of the House. Standing committees also oversee the departments and agencies of the executive branch. In discharging their duties, standing committees have the power to hold hearings and to subpoena witnesses and evidence.

Comparison to the Senate

In deciding term lengths, Convention delegates turned to the practices of state governments. Although the majority of states set one-year terms for both houses of their legislatures, five state constitutions established longer terms for upper house members. South Carolina’s senators served two-year terms, for example, while senators in Delaware served three-year terms with one-third of the senate’s nine members up for reelection each year. New York and Virginia implemented a similar system but with four-year terms instead of three.

Legislative committees

Other joint committees serve to make advisory reports; for example, there exists a Joint Committee on Taxation. Hence, the power of joint committees is considerably lower than those of standing committees. In the instance when the presidency and both Houses of Congress are controlled by one party, the speaker normally takes a low profile and defers to the president.

In 1995, Republicans under Newt Gingrich set a limit of three two-year terms for committee chairs. The chairman's powers are extensive; he controls the committee/subcommittee agenda, and may prevent the committee from dealing with a bill. The senior member of the minority party is known as the Ranking Member. In some committees like Appropriations, partisan disputes are few. Elections for representatives are held in every even-numbered year, on Election Day the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November.

The Speaker, who is chosen among the membership of the political party with the most seats in the House, establishes the legislative priorities for the body and presides over the deliberation of bills under consideration. The two-term limit tradition was maintained unofficially for 132 years. Franklin Roosevelt was re-elected in 1944 for a fourth term amidst the United States' engagement in World War II but died shortly afterwards in office. Constitution was ratified in 1951, formally establishing in law the two-term limit—although it did not apply to the incumbent Harry S. Truman, Franklin Roosevelt's successor. In 15 state legislatures, state legislators are subject to term limits. Voters in six additional states voted to have term limits, only to have those votes nullified.

The Articles of Confederation

Especially if a convention is closely divided, a losing candidate may contend further by meeting the conditions for a primary election. The courts generally do not consider ballot access rules for independent and third party candidates to be additional qualifications for holding office and no federal statutes regulate ballot access. As a result, the process to gain ballot access varies greatly from state to state, and in the case of a third party in the United States may be affected by results of previous years' elections. In 2007, Larry J. Sabato revived the debate over term limits by arguing in A More Perfect Constitution that the success and popularity of term limits at the state level suggests that they should be adopted at the federal level as well.

A member of the House is referred to as a representative, congressman, or congresswoman. The House also has the power to formally censure or reprimand its members; censure or reprimand of a member requires only a simple majority, and does not remove that member from office. In most cases, the relocation assistance will be three times the fair market rent of the unit (based on the HUD figures) plus $1,411 in moving costs.

Committees also have oversight responsibilities to monitor agencies, programs, and activities within their jurisdictions, and in some cases in areas that cut across committee jurisdictions. Learn more about the history of the majority and minority leaders from the Office of the Clerk. After extensive debate, the framers of the Constitution agreed to create the House with representation based on population and the Senate with equal representation. This agreement was part of what is referred to as The Great Compromise. The two houses of Congress may effectively have the same legislative powers, but they operate differently.

They will have until Feb. 1, 2024, to pay back rent accumulated between Oct. 1, 2021, and Jan. 31, 2023. Landlords will no longer be allowed to evict tenants from any rental property, including single-family homes, unless there was unpaid rent, documented lease violations, owner move-ins or other specific reasons. The city’s Housing Department lists the allowed “at-fault” and “no-fault” legal reasons for eviction. Landlords will also have to pay relocation assistance to tenants if the eviction is for “no-fault” reasons.

During the first half of the 19th century, the House was frequently in conflict with the Senate over regionally divisive issues, including slavery. The North was much more populous than the South, and therefore dominated the House of Representatives. However, the North held no such advantage in the Senate, where the equal representation of states prevailed. The county rules — which bar landlords from evicting low-income tenants who say they were financially harmed by COVID-19 and can’t pay rent — will now remain in effect through the end of March. Under the new rules, tenants will have until Aug. 1 to pay back rent accumulated between March 1, 2020, and Sept. 30, 2021.

Several elements of the package — such as “just cause” eviction protections and a timeline for paying back rent — have already gone into effect, while two other provisions are expected to go into effect in mid-March. The legislation has been referred to the House Fiscal Review committee. It must pass this committee, receive another affirmative vote in the House, and make its way through the Missouri Senate before May 17, if it is to be put before a vote of the people this year. Rep. Brian Seitz, R-Branson, echoed that sentiment, and pointed out that the opportunity to spend a long term in one chamber could yield productive political relationships and legislation. Rep. Jeff Myers, R-Warrenton, pointed out that many lobbyists thrive off of the turnover in legislators. Since lobbyists have no limit on how long they can work in their positions, they have more institutional knowledge and influence in Jefferson City than freshman lawmakers.

Only Maryland’s senate, whose members were not directly elected by the people, featured five-year terms. Reformers during the early 1990s used the initiative and referendum to put congressional term limits on the ballot in 24 states. Voters in eight of these states approved the congressional term limits by an average electoral margin of two to one.[31] It was an open question whether states had the constitutional authority to enact these limits. Term Limits, Inc. v. Thornton, 514 U.S. 779 (1995), that states cannot impose term limits upon their federal representatives or senators. Also referred to as a congressman or congresswoman, each representative is elected to a two-year term serving the people of a specific congressional district.

California’s COVID-19 eviction moratorium expired Thursday, but there are still some protections in place for tenants whose finances were affected by the pandemic. In its original form, Article IV of the 1879 California Constitution structured the legislature in a similar way to the 1849 Constitution. However, the 1879 Constitution explicitly stated that the Senate has 40 members and that the Assembly has 80 members.[11] The constitution also explicitly provides that Senators terms are four years and the terms of members of the Assembly are two years. 32% of representatives are men over the age of 60, while only 17% of representatives are women 60 years old or younger.

Tenure of Senators

Currently, there are five delegates representing the District of Columbia, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. The delegates and resident commissioner possess the same powers as other members of the House, except that they may not vote when the House is meeting as the House of Representatives. The House also has one permanent committee that is not a standing committee, the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and occasionally may establish temporary or advisory committees, such as the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming. This latter committee, created in the 110th Congress and reauthorized for the 111th, has no jurisdiction over legislation and must be chartered anew at the start of every Congress. The House also appoints members to serve on joint committees, which include members of the Senate and House. Some joint committees oversee independent government bodies; for instance, the Joint Committee on the Library oversees the Library of Congress.

Pasadena and Beverly Hills are among the other cities in L.A. County where residential tenants are still protected against eviction for not paying their rent because of COVID. In Los Angeles County, commercial tenants still have eviction protections under a motion passed earlier this week.

Conversely, the governors of Montana[73] and Wyoming[74] are limited to two terms, serving 8 out of any 16 years. House of Representatives each represent a portion of their state known as a Congressional District, which averages 700,000 people. Currently, the Michigan Congressional Delegation is composed of 14 representatives in the House and two Senators in the U.S. Members of the House of Representatives serve two-year terms and are considered for reelection every even year.

Each of the two political parties also elect a “Whip”—the Majority Whip for the party with the most seats, and the Minority Whip for the other party—from their House delegations. The whip’s official role is to count potential votes for bills being debated for the party leaders. The House Majority Leader—who is also chosen from among the membership of the political party with the most seats in the House—schedules time for floor debate on legislation and sets the legislative strategy for the party in control. Each state is guaranteed at least one member of the House of Representatives. The allocation of seats is based on the population within the states, and membership is reapportioned every 10 years, following the decennial census. House members are elected for two-year terms from single-member districts of approximately equal population.

Often, their committee assignments reflect their interests or the interests of their district. The length of terms of state representatives in the 49 American lower chambers is either two years or four years. Congress deals with a broad variety of different policy issues and it is more efficient to have work done at the committee level than on the House or Senate floor. In addition, this system allows members to gain expertise in specific issue areas they are interested in. Throughout history, committees have been created to address particular issues before Congress. The House has 23 committees while the Senate has a total of 20 committees.

Presently, the District of Columbia and the five inhabited U.S. territories each elect a delegate. A seventh delegate, representing the Cherokee Nation, has been formally proposed but has not yet been seated.[30] An eighth delegate, representing the Choctaw Nation is guaranteed by treaty but has not yet been proposed. Additionally, some territories may choose to also elect shadow representatives, though these are not official members of the House and are separate individuals from their official delegates.

U.S. House Committees

As outlined in the Constitution, the House represents citizens based on district populations, while the Senate represents citizens on an equal state basis. This agreement was part of what is called The Great Compromise which, in turn, led to the Permanent Seat of Government Act establishing the nation’s federal capital in Washington, DC. In 1789, the House assembled for the first time in New York. It moved to Philadelphia in 1790 and then to Washington, DC, in 1800. [T]he constitutional prerogative of the House has been held to apply to all the general appropriations bills, and the Senate's right to amend these has been allowed the widest possible scope.

Senators however, serve six-year terms and elections to the Senate are staggered over even years so that only about 1/3 of the Senate is up for reelection during any election. Prior to the election, the Republican Party had the majority in the U.S. Republicans held 246 seats compared to Democrats' 186 seats, while three seats were vacant.

The House of Representatives originally comprised 59 members. The number rose following the ratification of the Constitution by North Carolina and Rhode Island in 1790; the first Congress (1789–91) adjourned with 65 representatives. Two additional representatives were added temporarily after the admission of Alaska and Hawaii as states in 1959, but at the next legislative apportionment, membership returned to 435, the number authorized by a law enacted in 1941. House were held on November 3, 2020, and coincide with the 2020 presidential election.

There are also select and special committees, which are usually appointed for a specific project and for a limited period. Legislative term limits can be either lifetime or consecutive. In the ten states where the limits are consecutive, once a state legislator has served the maximum number of terms in office, he or she, if eligible, can run for office for the state's other legislative chamber, or leave the legislature. These states are Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Louisiana, Maine, Montana, Nebraska, Ohio, and South Dakota. After a period of time no longer in office in a particular legislative chamber, however, the legislator is allowed to run again for office in that legislative chamber.

A party caucus or conference is the name given to a meeting of or organization of all party members in the House. During these meetings, party members discuss matters of concern. The Constitution empowers the House of Representatives to impeach federal officials for "Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors" and empowers the Senate to try such impeachments. The House may approve "articles of impeachment" by a simple majority vote; however, a two-thirds vote is required for conviction in the Senate. A convicted official is automatically removed from office and may be disqualified from holding future office under the United States. No further punishment is permitted during the impeachment proceedings; however, the party may face criminal penalties in a normal court of law.

Cabinet officers and other officials are frequently summoned before the committees to explain policy. The Constitution (Article I, section 6) prohibits members of Congress from holding offices in the executive branch of government—a chief distinction between parliamentary and congressional forms of government. Members of Congress represent the people of their district in the United States Congress by holding hearings, as well as developing and voting on legislation. So they will not all be up for election at the same time, their terms are staggered. Every two years, during each midterm and presidential election year, a different third of the Senate is elected.

The Constitution vests certain exclusive powers in the House of Representatives, including the right to initiate impeachment proceedings and to originate revenue bills. The organization and character of the House of Representatives have evolved under the influence of political parties, which provide a means of controlling proceedings and mobilizing the necessary majorities. Party leaders, such as the speaker of the House and the majority and minority leaders, play a central role in the operations of the institution. From 1910 to 1975 committee and subcommittee chairmanship was determined purely by seniority; members of Congress sometimes had to wait 30 years to get one, but their chairship was independent of party leadership. The rules were changed in 1975 to permit party caucuses to elect chairs, shifting power upward to the party leaders.

Apart from the previous concerns about term limits that were raised, Rep. Darin Chappell, R-Rogersville, said term limits ultimately limit the powers of the voters to elect someone who they feel represents them well. Stephens said short term limits prompts lawmakers to always be eyeing their next political office, with many forced to compete against each other for limited seats in the Missouri Senate. Since 1993, the Legislature has hosted a web or FTP site in one form or another. Legislators first elected on or before June 5, 2012, are restricted by the previous term limits, approved in 1990, which limited legislators to three terms in the State Assembly and two terms in the State Senate. In the House of Representatives, the legislative schedule (which defines when bills are debated and voted upon) is set by the body’s leader, known as the Speaker of the House.
