Polarized Congress explores a host of lesser-known, even sometimes below the radar, aspects of the post-traditional or polarized model. These range from 'ping-ponging' of major measures between chambers (without conferencing), to the Senate Majority Leader's new 'toolkit.' They go from the now-crucial 'Hastert Rule' in the House, to the astonishment of legislating the Affordable Care Act by singular procedures including budget reconciliation. The book challenges the easy assumption, especially by the non-specialist press, that Congressional procedure is descending into nothing more than chaotic brutishness or eternal stalemate. Instead, it explains the transformation of the traditional model about 'how a bill becomes a law' before 2000, into the new current model in which Congress acts very differently. 610 10 $a United States. $b Congress $v Rules and practice. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85140798 610 17 $a United States. $b Congress. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00529490 650 0 $a Legislation $z United States $x History $y 21st century. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 2001-2009. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2001002071 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 2009-2017. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009003409 650 7 $a Legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00995636 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a Since 2000 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 655 7 $a Rules. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423857 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423857 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231018020425.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=75E676D0FAD211E7A45C351A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
