Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a compilation of hearings held in 1996 by the Rules Committee of the US House of Representatives, as they sought ideas for improving the way the House conducts its business. Significant changes had been made to House rules at the start of the 104th Congress, including a reduction in the number of committees and subcommittees, as well as term limits on committee and subcommittee chairs. However, the Rules Committee recognized that further reform was needed, and these hearings were held to gather input from House members, public witnesses, and congressional scholars. The ideas presented in this book cover a wide range of topics, including the elimination of proxy voting, the televising of committee hearings, and the requirement for a three-fifths vote to increase income taxes. The author also discusses the importance of campaign finance reform and the need to reduce the influence of special interests on the legislative process. Overall, this book provides a valuable record of the discussions and debates that took place during this important period of congressional reform.
