DOWNLOAD EBOOKWill some form of direct democracy supplant representative, deliberative government in the twenty-first century United States? That question is at the heart of Donald R. Wolfensberger's history of Congress and congressional reform, which runs back to the Constitution's creation of a popularly elected House of Representatives and forward to the surreal ending of the 105th Congress, featuring barrels of pork, resignation of the speaker, and impeachment of the president. The author's expertise comes from twenty-eight years as a staff member in the House, culminating in service as chief of staff of the powerful House Rules Committee. He was a top parliamentary expert and a principal Republican procedural strategist. Sensitive to the power of process, Wolfensberger is an authoritative guide to reform efforts of earlier eras. And as a participant in reforms since the 1960s, he offers a unique perspective on forging the "1970s sunshine coalition," televising House proceedings, debating term limits, and coping with democracy in an electronic age.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe 'discharge rule' of the House of Representatives allows a measure to come to the floor for consideration, even if the committee of referral does not report it and the leadership does not schedule it. To initiate this action, a majority of House Members must first sign a petition for that purpose. The rule permits either (1) the committee of referral to be discharged from the measure itself; or (2) the Committee on Rules to be discharged from a special rule for considering the measure. Layover periods required by the rule permit the Committee on Rules to pre-empt a discharge attempt, and recover control of the floor agenda, by securing adoption of an alternative special rule for considering the measure. Contents: Preface; Introduction; Function of the Discharge Rule; Pertinent Features of the Discharge Rule and their Development; Data Presented in This Report; Recent Discharge Attempts on Measures That Became Available for Floor Action; Use and Success of the Discharge Procedure; Frequency of Discharge Attempts; Use of the Three Forms of Discharge; Success of Discharge Attempts; Other Forms of Action on Measures Subjected to Discharge Attempts; Action After a Petition is Entered
