Description:
Ellen Greenberg sets the stage for both the House of Representatives and the Senate, explaining what the mace and hopper are, how the chambers are laid out, who the on-stage actors are and what they do. Her section on the jargon - the most common phrases used - goes far beyond mere description to show how our government operates. She also explains how business is done: what happens on a daily basis and during the weekly schedule and how a bill becomes a law - or doesn't. The House and Senate Explained includes a chapter on using the Internet to access information about the House, the Senate, and the White House, from getting around town to accessing proposed bills to sending e-mail to members of Congress. In addition, you'll learn how to be heard by your representatives and how to take a more active role in committee hearings. A listing of all congressional committees and subcommittees lets you know where your special concerns are being addressed.
