Two presidents in recent history, Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan, were elected with a mandate to reduce the scale of government, but met resistance from an increasingly dominant Congress and its allied agencies.

In three parts the authors: * Explore the origins and growth of the bureaucratic state in this century * Explain how Congress works today, and how long incumbencies, huge staffs, and connections to special interest groups enable individual members to augment and maintain their power * Discuss the effects of such power in domestic and foreign policies * Focus on strategies for restoring the vital separation of powers, the cornerstone of our constitution. For Washington insiders, students of government, and all concerned citizens," The Imperial Congress "provides insightful and provocative reading.

Jeffrey, Director of Scholarship at The Claremont Institute; John Adams Wettergreen, Professor of Political Science at San Jose University; Michael E. Hammond, General Counsel to the Senate Steering Committee; Peter M.
