Too Weak to Govern investigates the power of the majority party in
the United States Senate through a study of the appropriations
process over a period of nearly four decades. It uses quantitative
analysis, case studies, and interviews with policy makers to show
that the majority party is more likely to abandon routine
procedures for passing spending bills in favor of creating massive
'omnibus' spending bills when it is small, divided, and
ideologically distant from the minority. This book demonstrates
that the majority party's ability to influence legislative outcomes
is greater than previously understood but that it operates under
important constraints. However, the majority generally cannot use
its power to push its preferred policies through to approval.
Overall, the weakness of the Senate majority party is a major
reason for the breakdown of the congressional appropriations
process over the past forty years.
