The ability of Congress to act responsibly in the interest of the public as a whole does not depend so much on the personalities within it (although the individual actors certainly do have an effect) but rather on how the chambers are organized. Much depends upon the way the preferences of the members are translated into public policy — a process that happens through a vast array of rules that govern legislative behavior. While a Teddy Roosevelt or a Ronald Reagan can remake the presidency into something powerful and special, a member of Congress, amidst 534 other members, is rule-bound and relatively weak. What really matters is the schema into which every member fits.

And the current schema is failing the country. It is time Congress reconsidered some of the fundamental assumptions behind how it conducts business.Answer:
