Review "As Mr. Gold writes, the U.S. Senate is a twenty-first-century body operating with a core of eighteenth century rules--a fact that makes following the Senates lawmaking process both frustrating and fascinating. Senate Procedure and Practice ably explains this process and its consequences. No one explains it better or with more credibility than Martin Gold.""Grasping Senate procedures is crucial to understanding how the institution fulfills its constitutional role. Martin Golds book makes this vital topic clear and accessible.""Mr. Golds knowledge of and respect for the U.S. Senate shine through in this overview of the institution and its rules, procedures, and traditions. Senate Procedure and Practice gives the reader a grasp of real-world application of Senate process to the issues before Congress.""The Senates rules, precedents, and processes admirably serve the Framers vision for the operation of the Upper Chamber within the Constitutions architecture. Martin Gold is the gold standard in describing it all in a way that will greatly assist Members and staffs, and anyone else, who needs to understand how and why the Senate functions as it does.""This book will be invaluable to any student of the Senate."
