The Role Of Government Agencies In Influencing Legislation, Laurie Bowman

Student Scholarship

This paper, authored by Laurie Bowman in 1951, examines the intricate and often blurred line between the constitutional duties of executive agencies and the practice of lobbying the legislative branch. The central theme explores the persistent struggle for power between the executive and legislative branches, noting a significant shift toward executive dominance beginning in 1933. While the Constitution vests all legislative power in Congress, the executive branch frequently attempts to influence enactments to ensure they are favorable to departmental operations.
