  The purpose of this book is to offer a coherent and systematic study of the U.S. Congress. It presents a detailed description of the organisation and procedures of the Senate and the House of Representatives and pays particular regard to the ways in which the structure of Congress has varied over time since the forming of the Constitution.It looks at membership and elections, at the legislative process and the committee system, at floor activity and at the contentious issue of relations with the President, to provide all students of American politics with a thorough and up-to-date examination of one of their core areas of study.
