The Polarized Congress: The Post-Traditional Procedure of Its
Current Struggles argues that the rise of the polarized Congress
means a totally different Congressional procedure, especially after
2007, compared to the accustomed "traditional" one. Polarized
Congress explores a host of lesser-known, even sometimes below the
radar, aspects of the post-traditional or polarized model. These
range from "ping-ponging" of major measures between chambers
(without conferencing), to the Senate Majority Leader's new
"toolkit". They go from the now-crucial "Hastert Rule" in the
House, to the astonishment of legislating the Affordable Care Act
by singular procedures including budget reconciliation. The book
challenges the easy assumption, especially by the non-specialist
press, that Congressional procedure is descending into nothing more
than chaotic brutishness or eternal stalemate. Instead, it explains
the transformation of the traditional model about "how a bill
becomes a law" before 2000, into the new current model in which
Congress acts very differently.
