Episode Details

Gisela Sin is a Political Science Professor at the University of Illinois and the author of the book entitled Separation of Powers and Legislative Organization: The President, the Senate, and Political Parties in the Making of House Rules. Gisela will explain what rule changes that McCarthy had to agree to get the necessary votes, and we will find out what the implications are for the legislative agenda and the House’s power in negotiating with the President.

We will also hear from Tennessee Republican Congressman Mark Green who will describe the internal squabbles that he witnessed during this historic 4-day saga on the House floor to pick the Speaker, and I plan to ask Mark about what this means for the Republicans going forward during this term.There is much to cover so buckle up.
