Paperback. Congressman David Price is uniquely qualified to guide readers through the labyrinth of rules, roles, and representatives that is Congress. As a trained political scientist, he connects the practical politics on the Hill with the theories of the discipline. He is equally focused on the ethics of public service at a time when politics seem to have reached a new low. Through it all, he conveys a clear sense of the challenges, disappointments, elations, and deep concerns implicit in serving as a member of Congress--especially at a time of national and international fragility. New to the 4th Edition Covers elections and presidencies since the third edition including serving with Obama and Trump. Details the Trump impeachment process and the subsequent pandemic bringing change to Congressional floor voting processes, putting current crises in context with prior occasions during the Clinton and George W. Bush presidencies. Looks at the reform agenda and the prospects for national political renewal. The fourth edition of this classic text expands the treatment of Americas broken electoral system and shows a clear path to reform. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.…
