Will some form of direct democracy supplant representative, deliberative government in the 21st century United States? This question is at the heart of Donald R. Wolfensberger's history of Congress and congressional reform, from the creation of an elected House of Representatives and forward to the surreal ending of the 105th Congress, featuring barrels of pork, resignation of the speaker and impeachment of the president.
