With the need for ever increasing sums of money to fuel the
ongoing campaign for majority control, both Republicans and
Democrats have made large donations to the party and its candidates
mandatory for members seeking advancement within party and
congressional committee hierarchies. Eric S. Heberlig and Bruce A.
Larson analyze this development and discuss its implications for
American government and democracy. They address the consequences of
selecting congressional leaders on the basis of their fundraising
skills rather than their legislative capacity and the extent to
which the battle for majority control leads Congress to prioritize
short-term electoral gains over long-term governing and
problem-solving.
