Synopsis
Ellen Greenberg sets the stage for both the House of Representatives and the Senate, explaining what the mace and hopper are, how the chambers are laid out, who the on-stage actors are and what they do. Her section on the jargon - the most common phrases used - goes far beyond mere description to show how our government operates. She also explains how business is done: what happens on a daily basis and during the weekly schedule and how a bill becomes a law - or doesn't. The House and Senate Explained includes a chapter on using the Internet to access information about the House, the Senate, and the White House, from getting around town to accessing proposed bills to sending e-mail to members of Congress. In addition, you'll learn how to be heard by your representatives and how to take a more active role in committee hearings. A listing of all congressional committees and subcommittees lets you know where your special concerns are being addressed.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. The House and Senate Explained: The People's Guide to Congress. By Ellen Greenberg. Published by W.W. Norton and Co. 1996. ISBN 0393039846 New 8.5 x 5 inches hardcover with new dustjacket. 173 Pages. Appendix. Index. SUMMARY: Greenberg simplifies, explains, and presents the legislative branch in ways that bring clarity to confusion. She begins with the basics: how both the House and Senate are physically organized. Two diagrams for each explain and show the positions of the "mace," the "hopper," and other accouterments of government. Seventeen "players," or named positions, in the House and 13 in the Senate are described as well. A chapter entitled "The Script" gives alphabetically listed terms used in legislation. A typical congressional day is outlined and a pithy explanation of the steps from a bill to law is offered. An excellent reference source, the book includes a full index and sections on written and Internet accesses to the government. --- [inv.laf]--- Online postal tracking. --- FREE SHIPPING within USA.
