Legislators, leaders, and lawmaking

In Legislators, Leaders, and Lawmakers Sinclair traces the emergence during the 1980s of a House majority party leadership that is highly active and deeply involved in multiple aspects of the legislative process, but one that leads by means of a participatory and inclusive style. Drawing on extensive interviews with House members, staffs, and informed observers, she describes the changing role of the leadership from the prereform period, through the immediate postreform years, to the present.

First sentence: In the spring of 1993, reconciliation legislation implementing President Clinton's economic program was approaching consideration on the House floor.
