Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the unique concept of "irresponsible Cabinet government," in which the executive officers of the US government are given seats upon the floor of the Senate and House of Representatives, with the right to participate in debate and give information. The author acknowledges that the Pendleton Bill did not propose such a radical change, but rather sought to give members of the Cabinet the right to communicate and debate, but argues that to be effective, the Cabinet must be given the initiative in legislation. The author compares this system to the British model, and asserts that, contrary to popular belief, the British system is not without its problems, including the unchecked power of the House of Commons and the instability of the ministers. The book delves into the historical context of cabinet government, providing an in-depth analysis of its strengths and weaknesses, and concludes with a thought-provoking discussion of the significance of its insights for the future of American governance.
