TrumanThe Congress and America's future POLITICAL SCIENCEEDITED BY DAVID B. TRUMANTHE CONGRESS AND AMERICA'S FUTURECriticism of Congress is commonplace in American politics. When Congress passes presidential pro-grams, it is accused of being a "rubber stamp"; when it balks, the cry is "obstruction." In recent years, however, responsible critics have increasingly expressed concern that Congress is losing its ability to act quickly and decisively.In THE CONGRESS AND AMERICA'S FUTURE, eight political observers report on the functions and procedures of Congress. The book discusses some of the roadblocks that prevent Congress from legislating effectively-among them seniority rule, the filibuster, the dispersion of power among specialized committees, and, above all, the growing insulation of Congress from other social groups and political institutions.Among the observations and proposals made inTHE CONGRESS AND AMERICA'S FUTURE is the suggestion that, unless congressional leaders can reverse the trends toward dispersion, Congress may cease to be a legislative body in the traditional sense.PRENTICE-HALL, INC./ ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, NEW JERSEYCOVER Product informationPublisher‎ Prentice-Hall; 2nd edition (January 1, 1972)Language‎EnglishISBN-10‎013167577XISBN-13‎9780131675773Item Weight‎1.25 pounds—- This book, titled "The Congress and America's Future" by D.B.
