Brett Tolman was the United States Attorney for the District of Utah from July 2006 to December 2009.
 Before becoming U.S. Attorney, Tolman worked as counsel in the Senate Judiciary Committee for committee chairs Orrin Hatch (R-UT) and then Arlen Specter (R-PA) during the 109th United States Congress.
 Tolman’s most noteworthy work in the Senate is his role in the passage of the 2005 Patriot Act reauthorization.
 He was instrumental in the revisions to the appointment process of interim U.S. Attorneys and is a major (if not well-known) figure in the dismissal of U.S. attorneys controversy.
The 1976 United States Senate election in Utah took place on November 2, 1976.
 Incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Frank Moss ran for re-election to a fourth term but was defeated by his Republican opponent Orrin Hatch.
 40 years after the election, Hatch is currently the longest-serving Republican Senator, having been re-elected for seven terms.
The Equal Opportunity to Govern Amendment, also known as the Hatch Amendment, is a United States constitutional amendment proposed in July 2003 by Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) to repeal the natural born citizen clause prohibiting citizens who were naturalized from holding the office of President or Vice President of the United States.
 Hatch's amendment would allow anyone who has been a US citizen for twenty years to seek these offices.
 In the wake of the California recall election, 2003, this proposal was widely seen as an attempt to make California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger (born in Austria and naturalized in 1983) eligible for the presidency and is sometimes nicknamed "Arnold bill" or "Amend for Arnold".
 However, there are other politicians who were not born as American citizens and therefore would benefit from such an amendment.
 Notables include Michigan governor Jennifer Granholm (born in Canada, naturalized in 1980), former Florida Senator Mel Martinez (born in Cuba), former United States Secretary of State Madeleine Albright (born in Czechoslovakia), former Vermont governor Madeleine Kunin (born in Switzerland), and current Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao (born in Taiwan).
 The text of the amendment reads as follows:
Utah was admitted to the Union on January 4, 1896, and elects senators to Class 1 and Class 3.
 Its current senators are Republicans Mike Lee and Orrin Hatch.
 In office since 1977, Hatch is currently the longest-serving Senator in Utah history, the longest-serving Republican Senator and the second most senior Senator overall, after Vermont's Patrick Leahy.
 Senator Hatch has also been the President pro tempore of the United States Senate since 2015.
The USA PATRIOT Act was passed by the United States Congress in 2001 as a response to the September 11, 2001 attacks.
 It has ten titles, each containing numerous sections.
 Title III: International Money Laundering Abatement and Financial Anti-Terrorism Act of 2001 is actually an act of Congress in its own right as well as being a title of the USA PATRIOT Act, and is intended to facilitate the prevention, detection and prosecution of international money laundering and the financing of terrorism.
 The title's sections primarily amend portions of the Money Laundering Control Act of 1986 and the Bank Secrecy Act of 1970.
The Foundation which "seeks to help needy Utah families who face homelessness, poverty, hunger, unemployment, illness or illiteracy"  was established by Utah Senator Orrin Hatch and sponsored by numerous health care related companies and organizations.
 The current President of the Foundation is Carol Nixon, wife of lobbyist William Nixon.
 She is notable as the first woman to serve as chief of staff to a Utah governor.
 Criticism has arisen concerning donations from drug companies.
 The criticism being "... Critics say they doubt those firms did that out of concern for Utah families, but instead gave the big money to reward their longtime political ally Sen. Orrin Hatch — who helped create the group and helps raise funds for it..."

The history of the USA PATRIOT Act involved many parties who opposed and supported the legislation, which was proposed, enacted and signed into law 45 days after the September 11 terrorist attacks in 2001.
 The USA PATRIOT Act, though approved by large majorities in the U.S. Senate and House of Representative, was controversial, and parts of the law were invalidated or modified by successful legal challenges over constitutional infringements to civil liberties.
 The Act had several sunset provisions, most reauthorized by the "USA PATRIOT Improvement and Reauthorization Act of 2005" and the "USA PATRIOT Act Additional Reauthorizing Amendments Act."
 Both reauthorizations incorporated amendments to the original USA PATRIOT Act, and other federal laws.
