An examination of the national legislative process, comparing the understanding at the Founding with the reconstitution of this process in the 20th century. Emphasis on the contemporary Congress, with special attention to its internal organization, its major procedures (including the ordinary legislative process as well as the budget process) and how the embrace of administrative power in the New Deal period and beyond has changed both the form and politics of the legislative process.
