For decades, advocates of congressional reforms have repeatedly attempted to clean up the House committee system, which has been called inefficient, outmoded, unaccountable, and even corrupt. Yet these efforts result in little if any change, as members of Congress who are generally satisfied with existing institutions repeatedly obstruct what could fairly be called innocuous reforms. What lies behind the House's resistance to change? Challenging recent explanations of this phenomenon, Scott Adler contends that legislators resist rearranging committee powers and jurisdictions for the same reason they cling to the current House structure—the ambition for reelection. The system's structure works to the members' advantage, helping them obtain funding (and favor) in their districts. Using extensive evidence from three major reform periods—the 1940s, 1970s, and 1990s—Adler shows that the reelection motive is still the most important underlying factor in determining the outcome of committee reforms, and he explains why committee reform in the House has never succeeded and probably never will.

This study contains detailed briefing papers prepared by 16 representatives and senators, based on a series of informal discussion groups organized by the Center for Responsive Politics. The discussion groups were formed around four topics of particular interest to members: the reality of money, the use of members' time, the budget and legislative process, and the public's understanding of Congress. The discussions were based on a revealing survey of Congress, which polled 114 members of the House and Senate and 115 key staffers on their views of Congress, its chief strengths and weaknesses. The members describe their problems, such as too much time spent on fund raising for future campaigns, too little time to think and confer with their aides and colleagues, and too little home life. They attempt to outline workable solutions that will increase the effectiveness of Congress.

In The Next American Revolution, Charles R. Hooper empowers the citizens of America with the information needed to demand congressional reform. Each individual American has the right and the power to legally, safely, and effectively take back their Congress. The four constitutional mechanisms available to the people to improve their government—speech, assembly, petition, and elections—have apparently stopped working. Fortunately, the Founding Fathers left their descendants with a never used, yet very real and effective fifth constitutional power. Americans can momentarily lay aside their differences and focus their combined powers toward one common cause—a revolution calling for a convention of the states specifically and solely for the purpose of restoring a people’s legislature. The author explains why this is the peoples’ best (and last) hope of seriously reforming the legislative branch of government.
