Beskrivelse
Civics textbooks focus on how Congress makes policy through the legislative process, but the reality is that members of Congress have limited opportunities to advance their policy priorities. In fact, less than five percent of the bills that are introduced in Congress become law. What strategies do lawmakers have for navigating obstacles in Congress? In this book, Melinda N. Ritchie reveals how members of Congress use the federal bureaucracy as a backdoor forpolicymaking. Drawing on an original dataset constructed from records obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, Ritchie traces the interactions between members of Congress and federal agencies to illustrate how these communications function as part of a lawmaker's overarching strategy forpolicymaking.
