it is a good time to study about congress and i think people interested to learn more about congress. looking a lot like the earlier periods of congressional history that help to motivate the class to run for office congress abandons the constitutional responsibilities and backtracking on years and decades of bipartisan efforts to reassert as a co-equal branch branch of government to claw back the powers lost to the executive branch a failure to legislate even on issues with bipartisan support just to a failure of conducting oversight and what came out of the 1970s and where congress should be taking the initiative the two ways that i feel congress is beginning to resemble what the senator from pennsylvania referred to so hopefully this book and other efforts underway including by several members of the class will help to stimulate a new generation of people coming into government running for congress that is very gratifying it isn't easy to study congress and not many historians do it when i was at berkeley nobody was studying congressional history. most is written about presidents.
