    af Michael Tesler & David O. Sears
    278,95 - 1.098,95 kr.

    af Christopher Wlezien & Robert S. Erikson

    af John H. Aldrich

    Throughout the contest for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination, politicians and voters alike worried that the outcome might depend on the preferences of unelected superdelegates.

  • - A Political History of Obstruction in the House and Senate
    af Gregory Koger

    In the modern Congress, one of the highest hurdles for major bills or nominations is gaining the sixty votes necessary to shut off a filibuster in the Senate. But this wasn't always the case. This title shows that filibustering is a game with slippery rules in which legislators who think fast and try hard can triumph over superior numbers.
