解説

One of only four federal offices named in the Constitution, the speakership of the US House of Representatives is second only to the presidency in political power and influence. This revised and updated text offers a political and historical account of the speakership, current through to Newt Gingrich's tenure. Arguing that the workings of Congress can best be understood from a broader historical perspective, Ronald Peters traces the evolution of the office from its early form as a "parliamentary" office through periods during which it functioned as a "feudal" institution to its present form as a "democratic" speakership.
