Download or read book Congress in Context written by John Haskell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Congress is by the far the least popular (and most misunderstood) branch of the federal government. Congress in Context de-mystifies the institution, giving students a comprehensive and practical understanding of Congress and the legislative process. This book takes a different approach to the study of Congress than other texts. Usually Congress is treated in isolation from the rest of the government. But the Framers of the Constitution explicitly intended for the branches of government to be interdependent. Congress in Context introduces readers to Congress's critical role in the context of this interdependent system. Using the metaphor of a board of directors, the authors explain the three key roles of Congress within the federal government (authorizing what government does, funding its activities, and supervising how it carries out the laws Congress passes) and shows students how Congress interacts with the rest of the government to exercise these powers. The thoroughly expanded and revised second edition features brand-new chapters on Congress and the courts and Congress and interest groups. It also includes expanded coverage of Congress's relationship with the executive branch, campaign finance, and today's major budget issues. Grounded in the latest political science literature coupled with contemporary examples, Congress in Context offers students an informed yet accessible introduction to how the legislative branch carries out its duties.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In January 2009, President-elect Barack Obama and the 111th Congress took office. They serve at a time when our country faces unparalleled economic and social challenges. Yet this is also a moment of historic opportunity, when good investments in our country's human capital can help put the country on the road to strong recovery and long-term well being. In An Agenda for the Obama Administration and the 111th Congress, JFF makes 10 recommendations for addressing two pressing national challenges: the call for economic recovery and growth and the need for more equitable economic and educational opportunity for less-skilled and low-income young people and adults. For 25 years, JFF has developed promising education and labor-market models, expanded successful models in communities across the country, and helped shape the policy environment that enables American families and companies to compete in a global economy. JFF's policy agenda is informed by the lessons and successes we've experienced on the ground. We believe the Obama Administration and members of Congress will find the recommendations useful as they develop plans and programs to promote greater long-term economic success for all our communities.

Book excerpt: "Kay King's article, Congress and National Security, provides a framework to examine the functioning of Congress. King's article provides a useful context to examine how the U.S. Congress functions or in some circumstances fails to function together with the Executive branch to "provide for the common defense". The founding fathers established the three branches of government to function together while also providing checks and balances on the power of each. However, the consequences of the Legislative and Executive branches not functioning well together can have dire and sometimes even debilitating National security consequences. King states that, "Congress's inability to tackle tough problems, both domestic and international, has serious national security consequences, in part because it leads the world to question U.S. global leadership." She spells out the specific critical functions that when neglected can have a national security impact. Stating that "when Congress fails to perform, national security suffers thanks to ill-considered polices, delayed or inadequate resources, and insufficient personnel.""--Introduction.
