Senate Procedure and Practice FROM THE PUBLISHER
Martin B. Gold, a longtime Senate staffer and a distinguished scholar, makes a successful effort in Senate Procedure and Practice to explain and illustrate not only how the Senate works, but, most importantly, why it has worked so well for more than two hundred years. Indeed, to understand Senate procedure is to understand, in many respects, the greatness of America.
SYNOPSIS
Gold (a partner in the Washington office of Covington & Burling and a former Floor Advisor and Counsel to Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist) provides a distillation of Riddick's Senate Procedure, detailing the Senate rules and procedures that govern lawmaking, while frequently sprinkling his commentary with examples from the floor. He provides chapters on legislative business, floor debates, legislation and committee procedures, bills and joint resolutions, the amendment process, voting in the Senate, finalizing legislation, the appropriations and budget process, and executive business and executive calendar.
