The Contemporary Congress

By: Burdett A. Loomis

The only text published with each new Congress, THE CONTEMPORARY CONGRESS, Third Edition, is short enough to use as a supplement and comprehensive enough to serve as the foundation of a course. The book focuses on the struggle between the centralizing and decentralizing forces in the legislative branch, and includes such new material as the resignations of Newt Gingrich and Bob Livingston and the impeachment of President Clinton.

Esteemed Colleagues

Civility and Deliberation in the U.S. Senate

By: Burdett A. Loomis

What's happened to the longstanding traditions of civility and decorum within the world's greatest deliberative body? While the Senate hasn't yet become as rancorous as the House, over the past three decades it has grown noticeably less collegial. In Esteemed Colleagues, leading congressional scholars address the extent to which civility has declined in the U.S. Senate, and how that decline has affected our political system. The contributors analyze the relationships between Senators, shaped by high levels of both individualism and partisanship, and how these ties shape the deliberation of issues before the chamber. Civility and deliberation have changed in recent decades, up to and including the Clinton impeachment process, and the book sheds light on both the current American politics and the broad issues of representation, responsiveness, and capacity within our governmental institutions.
