To understand American politics and government, we need to
recognize not only that members of Congress are agents of societal
interests and preferences but also that they act with a certain
degree of autonomy and consequence in the country's public sphere.
In this illuminating book, a distinguished political scientist
examines actions performed by members of Congress throughout
American history, assessing their patterns and importance and their
role in the American system of separation of powers. David R.
Mayhew examines standard history books on the United States and
identifies more than two thousand actions by individual members of
the House and Senate that are significant enough to be mentioned.
Mayhew offers insights into a wide range of matters, from the
nature of congressional opposition to presidents and the surprising
frequency of foreign policy actions to the timing of notable
activity within congressional careers (and the way that
congressional term limits might affect these performances). His
book sheds new light on the contributions to U.S. history made by
members of Congress.
