Senate Procedure and Practice

By Martin B. Gold

Book Overview

The United States Senate, unlike the United States House of Representatives, is a place where political minorities and individual members hold great power, resting on authority drawn from Senate rules and more than two hundred years of related precedents and traditions. This fundamental truth provides a necessary context for understanding the subject matter as detailed and explained in Senate Procedure and Practice: An Introductory Manual.
