Unlock Congress: Reform the Rules - Restore the System Michael Golden

Publisher Marketing: The American people are disgusted with the U. S. Congress. Congress is producing legislation at an anemic rate, while many of the nation's immediate problems fester. Those are the facts. The fiction? The notion that we can't do anything about it. The U. S. Constitution assigned obligations to our legislative branch a written warranty calling on our elected representatives to "promote the general welfare." But failures in recent years reveal a profound truth: Congress is in breach of contract. In Unlock Congress, veteran journalist and former political strategist Michael Golden examines the ways in which congressional failure generates a harmful PRODUCT. Rather than affixing blame to individual politicians or the partisan divide, Golden diagnoses the causes behind the breakdown. He identifies the PROBLEM obsolete rules that lead to major defects within the system. Finally, Unlock Congress lays out a PLATFORM of solutions designed to reinvigorate both the process and its players.
