"Walter Oleszek’s Congressional Procedures and the Policy Process is the gold standard of books on Congress, providing the ideal backbone to any course on Congress. The book is a must-read for Hill interns and new staff if they want to be effective in their jobs and make a difference."

– William F. Connelly Jr., Washington & Lee University

Congressional Procedures and the Policy Process examines the entire arc of the legislative process―from a bill’s introduction, to its signature into law, to congressional review of the law’s administrative implementation―and the many procedural pitfalls that exist along the way. Author Walter J. Oleszek and new co-authors Mark Oleszek, Elizabeth Rybicki, and Bill Heniff, Jr. do not shy away from the complexity of the topic, yet they ensure that the operations of Congress are understandable to students and practitioners alike. Through an array of interesting examples, case studies, and the authors’ personal anecdotes, this definitive work delivers timely explanation and analysis of the nation’s premier lawmaking institution.
