The Congress is presently an uneasy combination of stages two and three. During the first stage, which lasted from the end of World War I until the early 1960s, the House was dominated by powerful committee chairs who controlled the agenda, decided which members would get what services for their constituents, and tended to follow the leadership of the Speaker. Newer members were expected to be seen but not heard; power and prominence came only after a long apprenticeship. Congressional staffs were small, and so members dealt with each other face to face. In dealing with other members, it helped to have a southern accent: Half of all committee chairs, in both the House and the Senate, were from the South. Not many laws were passed over their objections. The second stage emerged in the early 1970s, in part as the result of trends already under way and in part as the result of changes in procedures and organization brought about by younger, especially northern, members. (As an example of continuing trends, consider the steady growth in the number of staffers assigned to each member.) Dissatisfied with southern resistance to civil rights bills and emboldened by a sharp increase in the number of liberals who had been elected in the Johnson landslide of 1964, the House Democratic caucus adopted rules that allowed the caucus to do the following: select committee chairs without regard to seniority; increase the number and staffs of subcommittees; authorize individual committee members (instead of just the committee chair) to choose the subcommittee chairs; ended the ability of chairs to refuse to call meetings; and made it much harder to close meetings to the public. Also, the installation of electronic voting made it easier to require recorded votes, and so there was a sharp rise in the number of times each member had to go on record. The Rules Committee was instructed to issue more rules that would allow floor amendments. At the same time, the number of southern Democrats in leadership positions began to decline, while the conservativism of the remaining ones began to lessen. Moreover, northern and southern Democrats began to vote together a bit more frequently, though the conservative Boll Weevils remained a significantand often swinggroup. These changes created a House ideally suited to serve the reelection needs of its members. Each representative could be an individual political entrepreneur, seeking publicity, claiming credit, introducing bills, holding subcommittee hearings, and assigning staffers to work on constituents problems. There was no need to defer to powerful party leaders or committee chairs. But because representatives in each party were becoming more ideologically similar, there was a rise in party voting. Congress became a career attractive to women and men skilled in these techniques. Their skills as members were manifest in the growth of the sophomore surge, the increase in their winning percentage during their first re-election campaign. Even junior members could now make their mark on legislation. In the House, more floor amendments were offered and passed; in the Senate, filibusters became more commonplace. Owing to multiple referrals and overlapping subcommittee jurisdictions, more members could participate in writing bills and overseeing government agencies. Lurking within the changes that defined the second stage were others, less noticed at the time, that created the beginnings of a new phase. This third stage was an effort in the House to strengthen and centralize party leadership. The Speaker acquired the power to appoint a majority of the Rules Committee members. That body, worried by the flood of floor amendments, began issuing more restrictive rules. By the mid-1980s, this had reached the point where Republicans were complaining that they were being gagged. The Speaker also got control of the Democratic Steering and Policy Committee (which assigns new members to committees) and was given the power to refer bills to several committees simultaneously. These opportunities for becoming a powerful Speaker were not noticed while Tip ONeill (D, Massachusetts) held that post. However, Jim Wright (D, Texas), ONeills successor, began to make full use of these powers shortly after he entered office. Perhaps if he had not stumbled over his ethical problems, Wright might have succeeded in becoming the policy leader of the House, setting the agenda and getting much of it adopted. The replacement of Wright by Tom Foley (D, Washington) signaled a return to a more accomodationist leadership style. The pendulum continued to swing between different leadership styles in the latter half of the 1990s. Foleys replacement, Republican Newt Gingrich (Georgia), was a more assertive policy leader. The first sitting Speaker to be reprimanded by the House for ethics violations, Gingrich resigned from office after the 1998 elections. He was succeeded by a more moderate speaker, J. Dennis Hastert (R, Illinois). The evolution of the House remains an incomplete story. It is not yet clear whether it will remain in stage two or find some way of moving decisively into stage three. For now, it has elements of both. Meanwhile, the Senate remains as individualistic and as decentralized as evera place where it has always been difficult to exercise strong leadership. Congress is a collection of individual representatives from states and districts who play no role in choosing the president. They are therefore free to serve the interests of their constituents, their personal political views, and (to a limited extent) the demands of congressional leaders. In serving those interests, members of necessity rely on investigating, negotiating, and compromise, all of which may annoy voters who want Congress to be decisive. The unpopularity of Congress is made worse by the recent tendency of its members to become ideologically more polarized. One of the most important changes in the profile of Congressional members is the increased ability of incumbents to get re-elected. This reflects the growth of constituent service, name recognition, and the weakening of party loyalties among voters. Though its members may complain that Congress is collectively weak, to any visitor from abroad it seems extraordinarily powerful. Congress has always been jealous of its constitutional authority and independence. Three compelling events led to Congress reasserting its authority. These were the war in Vietnam, which became progressively more unpopular; the Watergate scandals, which revealed a White House illegally influencing the electoral process; and the continuance of divided government, with one party in control of the presidency and another in control of Congress. In 1973, Congress passed the War Powers Act over a presidential veto, giving it a greater voice in the use of American forces abroad. The following year, it passed the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act, which denied the president the right to refuse to spend money appropriated by Congress. This act gave Congress a greater role in the budget process. Congress also passed laws to provide a legislative veto over presidential actions, especially with respect to the sale of arms abroad. Not all these steps have withstood the tests of time or of Supreme Court review, but taken together they indicate a resurgence of congressional authority. They also helped set the stage for sharper conflicts between Congress and the presidency.  seq NL1 \r 0 \h Chapter Outline with Keyed-in Resources SEQ NLI \r 0 \h   seq NLI \* ROMAN I seq NLA \r 0 \h .

Members of the House and Senate are predominantly middle-aged, white, Protestant, male lawyers. If people with these characteristics all held similar opinions, Congress would be radically unrepresentative on policy matters, but they do not. Of late, the number of Blacks and women in the House has been slowly increasing. Of particular importance is the proportions of representatives serving several terms and occupying safe rather than marginal districts. In 1869 the average representative had served only one term in Congress; by the 1950s over half the representatives had served four or more terms. In the nineteenth century the federal government was not very important, Washington was not a pleasant place in which to live, and being a member of Congress did not pay well. Because the job is more attractive today, one would expect more serious challenges; by 1970, however, over three-fourths of running incumbents won with 60 percent or more of the vote. A degree of competition re-emerged in House elections during the 1990s. This development has been attributed to re-districting changes and to voters anti-incumbency attitudes. Still, the vast majority of House incumbents seeking reelection are successful. Senators are somewhat less secure; in fewer than half of their races does the winner get 60 percent or more of the vote. Why this is the case is a subject of controversy among scholars. One theory stresses that voters are voting their party identification less and less and may therefore be voting for the candidate whose name they recognize. Incumbents have extensive means of getting their names known. Also, incumbents can use their powers to get (or may simply take credit for) federal grants, projects, and protection for local interest groups. Representatives are more likely to be not merely white, male, and senior in terms of years of service. For many years, Representatives were also more likely to be Democrats. This is because more voters considered themselves Democrats than Republicans (though this began to change with the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980) and because the advantages of incumbency began to take effect after the Democrats gained control of Congress. In only eight Congresses between the New Deal and the beginning of the 21st century did the Democrats fail to control both houses (19471948, 19531954, 19811982, 19831984, 19851986, 19951996, 19971998, and 19982000). This seems to have changed, however: the Republicans sustained their narrow majorities in the House and the Senate during the midterm elections of 1998 and 2002. As a rule, the presidents party loses congressional seats during the midterm elections, but the Democrats actually succeeded in gaining House seats in 1998. (Republicans were left with the thinnest margin held by a majority party in 46 years.) The 2002 midterm elections actually saw the Presidents party gain seats in the Senate, and maintain the margin in the House that the Republicans had gained in 2000. Only time will tell if the Republicans will be able to maintain these majorities, though their prospects look brighter with victories in each successive election.  seq NL1 \r 0 \h  seq NL1 \r 0 \h Theme B Summary: Does Congress Represent Constituents Opinions? There are at least three theories on why members of Congress vote the way they do: SEQ NL1 \r 0 \h   seq NL1 1 seq NL_a \r 0 \h . Representational. This view holds that members want to get reelected and therefore vote to please their constituents. It seems to be true when the issue is highly visible and the constituency is fairly united in its stance, as was the case on civil rights bills in the 1950s and 1960s.  seq NL1 2 seq NL_a \r 0 \h . Organizational. This view holds that members of Congress respond to cues provided by their fellow members. Party is the single most important of these cues, but ideological and intra-party caucuses, such as the Democratic Study Group, may also be important. Members also tend to go along with their partys representatives on the sponsoring committee and their state delegations.  seq NL1 3 seq NL_a \r 0 \h . Attitudinal. Members of Congress, like other political elites, are more ideological in their thinking than the public at large. Democratic members tend to be strongly liberal, and Republicans conservative. Moreover, because there are so many conflicting pressures, members are left free to vote their ideologies.  seq NL1 \r 0 \h Theme C Summary: Congressional Organization and Procedures Congress is not a single organization but a vast collection of organizations. SEQ NL1 \r 0 \h   seq NL1 1 seq NL_a \r 0 \h . Party organization. In the Senate, real leadership is in the hands of a majority leader, chosen from among the majority party, and a minority leader, chosen from the other party. The whip takes a nose count of how votes are lining up on controversial issues, keeps the party leader informed, and rounds up members for important votes. The Democratic Steering Committee and the Republican Committee on Committees assign senators to standing committees. Such assignments are extremely important to a senators career prospects. The party structure is essentially the same in the House as in the Senate, with two important exceptions. The leadership in general has more power in the House, because the House is a very large body that must restrict debate and schedule its business with great care. In the House, the position of Speaker carries considerable power. The Speaker may decide whom to recognize in debate, whether a motion is relevant and germane, and (within certain guidelines) to which committees new bills are assigned. The Speaker also influences which bills are brought up for a vote, appoints members of special and select committees, and nominates majority-party members of the Rules Committee. The effect of this party machinery can be seen in the party vote in Congress. Party is a very important determinant of a members votemore important than any other single thing. However, party voting in Congress does not approach the levels that prevail in a parliamentary system. As parties in Congress have weakened over the last century, party voting has generally been declining, although it resurged under Speaker Newt Gingrich. Much party voting is probably actually ideological voting: Republicans in both houses are predominantly conservative and Democrats liberal.  seq NL1 2 seq NL_a \r 0 \h . Caucuses. These associations of congressional members advocate an ideology or act on behalf of constituency concerns. As of January 1996, there were 129 caucuses in the Congress. They are of six types. Two types of caucuses are ideologically or interest based: (a) intraparty caucuses have members which share a common ideology (e.g., the Democratic Study Group); and (b) personal interest caucuses form around a shared interest in a particular issue (e.g., Congressional Family Caucus). The four remaining types of caucuses are constituency based: (c) national constituency concerns (e.g., Congressional Black Caucus), (d) regional constituency concerns (e.g., Western Caucus), (e) state or district constituency concerns (e.g., Rural Caucus), and (f) industrial constituency concerns (e.g., Steel Caucus).  seq NL1 3 seq NL_a \r 0 \h . Committees. Here is where the real work of Congress is done and where most of the power is found. Standing committees are the most important, because they are (with a few exceptions) the only ones that can propose legislation by reporting a bill out to the full House or Senate. Select committees are expected to last for only a few Congresses and have a specific purpose. Joint committees are those on which both senators and representatives serve. A conference committee, which tries to resolve differences between House and Senate versions of the same legislation, is a special kind of joint committee. Traditionally, committees have been dominated by their chairs, who (throughout most of this century) were chosen by seniority. In the early 1970s a series of reforms, voted by the Democratic Caucus, decentralized and democratized committee operations. The election of committee chairs by secret ballot allowed the seniority system to be breached, meetings were opened to the public, and the prerogatives of subcommittees and individual members were enhanced at the expense of committee chairs. Many of these reforms have been reversed by the 104th and 105th Congresses. Different committees attract different kinds of Congressional members. Some, such as the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, attract policy-oriented members; others, such as the House Post Office and Civil Service Committees, provide means of servicing a constituency and bolstering reelection prospects.  seq NL1 4 seq NL_a \r 0 \h . Staff. Congress has produced the most rapidly growing bureaucracy in Washington. In 1935 the typical representative had two aides; by 1979 the average had increased to sixteen but has held fairly steady since then. Some staff members (increasingly located in district offices) service requests from constituents. Other staff members do legislative work, helping the Congressional members keep abreast of a vast workload. The vast increase in staff has reduced contact among members of Congress, making the institution less collegial, more individualistic, and less of a deliberative body.  seq NL1 5 seq NL_a \r 0 \h . Staff agencies. These provide specialized knowledge and expertise and are an important Congressional counter to the resources the president can muster as chief of the executive branch. Examples include the CRS, GAO, and CBO. Crucial to the process of how a bill becomes a law is the number of points at which it may be blocked. A majority coalition must be assembled slowly and painstakingly. SEQ NL1 \r 0 \h   seq NL1 1 seq NL_a \r 0 \h . Introduction. In the House, a bill is introduced by dropping it into the hopper or handing it to a clerk; in the Senate, by announcing the bills introduction on the floor. Bills may be public (pertaining to affairs generally) or private (pertaining to a particular individual). It is often said that legislation is initiated by the president and enacted by Congress. Actually Congress often initiates legislation; the consumer and environmental legislation of the 1960s and 1970s are good examples. Even presidential proposals are often based on legislation already being considered in Congress.  seq NL1 2 seq NL_a \r 0 \h . Study by committee. The bill is referred to a committee by either the Speaker of the House or the presiding officer of the Senate. There are rules that govern which bills go to which committees, but sometimes a choice is possible and the bill can be sent to a receptive (or unreceptive) committee. Most bills die in committee. Important bills are generally referred to a subcommittee for hearings. Then the subcommittee (and/or committee) will mark up the billmake revisions and additions. If a majority of the committee votes to report out the bill, it goes to the full House or Senate. Otherwise the bill dies, unless a discharge petition (a maneuver that is rarely successful) brings it to the full House. In the Senate any bill can be proposed on the floor as an amendment to another measure, so discharge petitions are not needed. At this point the bill goes on a calendar, a fact that still does not guarantee consideration. In the Senate the majority leader, in consultation with the minority leader, schedules bills for consideration. In the House, the Rules Committee reviews major bills and may block action or send them to the floor under a closed rule, which limits debate and forbids amendments, or under a less favorable open rule, which permits amendments from the floor.  seq NL1 3 seq NL_a \r 0 \h . Floor debate. In the House, major bills are discussed by the Committee of the Whole under rather tight restrictions. The committee sponsoring the bill guides the debate, amendments (if they are allowed at all) must be germane, and the time allowed for debate is limited. The sponsoring committee usually gets its version passed by the House. Four voting procedures in the House are the voice, division, teller, and roll-call votes. In the Senate, there is no limit on debate (except for cloture). Nongermane amendments may be offered, producing a Christmas tree bill (with goodies for lots of groups) or forcing the Senate to deal with an important policy issue in connection with a trivial bill. In general, the guidelines for Senate debate are negotiated by the majority leader and listed in a unanimous consent agreement.  seq NL1 4 seq NL_a \r 0 \h . Conference committee. If a bill passes the House and Senate in different forms, the differences must be reconciled before the bill can become law. If the differences are minor, one house may simply accede to the changes made by the other. If differences are major, a conference committee must iron them out. In most cases, conference votes tend to favor, slightly, the Senate version of the bill.  seq NL1 5 seq NL_a \r 0 \h . The presidents signature. If both houses accept the conference report, the bill goes to the president for signature or veto. If the president vetoes the bill, the veto can be overridden by a two-thirds vote of those present in each of the two houses.  seq NL1 \r 0 \h Theme D Summary: Ethics and Congress The system of checks and balances is designed to fragment political power and thus prevent any single branch from becoming tyrannical. The problem is that this system also provides multiple points of access to influence government officials and in the process enhances the potential for corruption. Congress has been especially prone to instances of corruption and the abuse of power in recent years. This fact has contributed to the publics low opinion of Congress. The series of scandals can be lumped into three categories: financial, sexual, and political. The financial improprieties of members of Congress generally involve use of their political office to obtain some monetary benefit they would ordinarily not receive. Representative Tony Coehlo, for example, took a loan from a political fund-raiser and resigned over the apparent conflict of interest; Senator David Durenburger was denounced by the Senate for requiring groups to purchase numerous copies of his book as payment for speaking. In 1989, the powerful Speaker of the House, Jim Wright of Texas, was compelled to resign; and in 1997, Newt Gingrich became the first Speaker in House history to be reprimanded. The sexual escapades of members of Congress have resulted in much media coverage. The problems have ranged from Representative Barney Franks homosexual relationship with a male prostitute to Representative Donald Lukens 1989 conviction for a sexual encounter with a sixteen-year-old female. Recently attention has focused on sexual harassment on Capitol Hill; Senator Robert Packwood was forced to resign in 1995, after the Ethics Committee recommended that he be expelled for having sexually harassed several women and for refusing to be completely cooperative with the ethics investigation. The incidence of such harassment is probably more widespread than this isolated case. A 1993 poll by the Washington Post discovered that one of every nine female staffers reports having been a victim of sexual harassment by a member of Congress. The political abuse of power is usually difficult to prove. The Keating Five illustrates the complexity of this issue. Charles Keating, head of Lincoln Savings and Loan (S&L), contributed an estimated $1.3 million to the campaigns of five senators. These senators in turn intervened on Keatings behalf during a government investigation into the mismanagement of his S&L, an intervention that delayed government action and eventually cost taxpayers $2 billion to bail out the institution when it failed. The senators responded that they were acting only to represent a constituent, a key function of their job. Only one senator, Alan Cranston (who was about to retire), received a formal censure for his activities in this episode. Both houses have enacted codes of ethics which suffer from the same defectthey assume that corruption is mainly a monetary concern. But money is only one way in which an official can be improperly influenced. Even the monetary controls imposed by the codes are problematic because they inherently favor wealthy members of Congress who have no need to supplement their incomes. It is quite clear that political corruption in Congress has no easy resolution.
