How Congress Works and Why You Should Care is a concise introduction to the functions and vital role of the U.S. Congress by eminent former Congressman Lee H. Hamilton. Drawing on 34 years as a U.S. Representative, Hamilton explains how Congress reflects the diversity of the American people, serves as a forum for finding consensus, and provides balance within the federal government. Addressing widespread public misperceptions, he outlines areas where Congress can work better and ways for citizens to become more engaged in public affairs through their representatives in Washington.

Less than Meets the Eye: Foreign Policy Making and the Myth of the Assertive Congress (Twentieth Century Fund Book)

By: Hinckley, Barbara

Price: $2.95

Publisher: University of Chicago Press: 1994-06-01

Seller ID: M0226341445Z3

ISBN: 0226341445

Condition: Good

Focusing on cases involving major military action, foreign aid authorization, and key controversial votes in both legislative branches, Hinckley shows that-appearances to the contrary-Congress more often than not votes with the President, and has done so for the last few decades. Despite occasional flurries of activity on carefully chosen symbolic issues, most foreign policy issues never even make the Congressional agenda. Those that do are often dispatched with demands for reports that are left unread or with tough restrictions having built-in "escape provisions." Both branches, Hinckley argu...

Challengers, Competition, and Reelection: Comparing Senate and House Elections

Price: $2.95

Publisher: Yale University Press: 1997-02-27

ISBN: 0300068743

Condition: VeryGood

Why do U.S. senators have a harder time winning reelection than do members of the House of Representatives? Jonathan S. Krasno argues that Senate elections are more competitive because Senate challengers are more likely to be experienced politicians who wage intense, visible, and costly campaigns than are those who take on House incumbents.

Krasno, the first scholar to draw on the Senate Study--a survey conducted by the National Election Study specifically to analyze Senate elections--clearly and compellingly disposes of previous explanations for the vulnerability of senators. He argues th...

Campaign consultants are arguably now as famous in the United States as are politicians themselves. During the past decade, those who know the names Bill Clinton, George Bush, Newt Gingrich, and Christine Todd Whitman also recognize the names James Carville, Mary Matalin, Frank Luntz, and Ed Rollins. Professional consultants, once part of the privileged inner circle of presidential and gubernatorial candidates, are increasingly found at all levels of politics. Indeed, more than half of congressional candidates hire campaign consultants. These professionals have become as important to a candida...
