Editor's Notes
- Leadership –half dozen or so in each chamber provide overall guidance, direction… Boehner, Pelosi, Hoyer, McConnell, Harry Reid. Personal offices of each member of Congress—tend to be more concerned with their own district and constituents On many issues, Congress has come to rely on the committee system; workhorses ; make initial –often final– decisions on legislation. 20 Senate– 21 House
- Two main types of Committees – we will be most concerned with the Approps –where rubber meets the road $$$ It is the responsibility of Approps Committees to examine budget, line by line and make specific funding decisions. Powerful committee; old saying --members fight to get on and never leave—except by the box –ballot box or pine box !!
