Required reading for anyone who wants to understand how to work within Congress. The House and Senate have unique rules and procedures to determine how legislation moves from a policy idea to law. Evolved over the last 200 years, the rules of both chambers are designed to act as the engine for that process.

The authors of Inside Congress , all congressional veterans, have written the definitive guide to how Congress really works.
