Congressional Decisions: Crash Course Government and Politics

This week Craig breaks out the crystal ball to try and figure out why our congress people do the things that they do. We’ll talk about the three motivating factors of congressional decisions – constituency, interest groups, and political parties – and we’ll break down how each of these factors motivate certain actions like casework, public opinion polls, and logrolling. Craig will even weigh in on which of these factors probably contributes most significantly to the actions and decisions of our congresspersons and he’ll do it without even a touch of cynicism!
