and development, the authors lament its declining role in the
Constitutional framework and demonstrate why Americans should
spring to the First Branch’s defense."—Douglas B. Harris, author of
Choosing the Leader: Leadership Elections in the U.S. House of

Branch offers an important defense of the many virtues of our
