Overcoming Legislative Gridlock In The U.S. Congress: How Procedural Rules Affect Legislative Obstructionism, Molly Jackman

More than 90 percent of bills introduced in the U.S. House never make it to a floor vote, and far fewer are enacted into law.

Independent variables include safety belt laws, written driving policies (including communication technology commonly used in police vehicles), …
