Assuming there were a way to measure how divided ideologically a Congress is, does that division go down or up when congressmen read the bills?
Prof. Pitney and Prof. Bessette argue that there is a weak link between interest groups and floor votes. Which scholars have said that first?
I've read elsewhere that interest groups tend to draft all of some bills. How is that legal? How does that relate to the Congress chapter?

About this Blog
During the semester, I shall post course material and students will comment on it. Students are also free to comment on any aspect of American politics, either current or historical. There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges. This blog is on the open Internet, so post nothing that you would not want a potential employer to see. Syllabus: http://gov20h.blogspot.com/2023/08/draft-introduction-to-american-politics.html
