Summary:

Discusses possible significance of Senate or House action to adopt a resolution expressing "no confidence" in a Cabinet official or other executive-branch official. Examines potential legal issues, and discusses relation of such action to both "no confidence" votes in parliamentary systems and to Congressional actions to censure or express disapprobation. Describes past Congressional attempts to express a lack of confidence in or impose another form of censure on public officials.
