Controversial policy legislation

Reference no: EM133373989

Since the 1980s, controversial policy legislation has often been attached to bills about the budget (an "omnibus" -- some combination of the twelve appropriations that Congress has to approve each year to keep government funded).

Increasingly, legislative leadership prefers this strategy because:

Select one:

it forces an up/down vote and lessens the amount of time and political capital that has to be expended to push through a controversial measure.
the legislators like using Latin words to discuss their business.
it gives the President more power to veto or sign a bill.
it makes it easier for legislators from the minority party to discuss the controversial policy.
