"From controlling budgets to deciding when and why to go to war, Congress appears less relevant today [May 2003] than at any time in decades....Since the founding of the Republic, power has ebbed and flowed between presidents and the Congress. But now a confluence of factors could signal a more lasting change, some experts say." (CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR) The author considers the factors that have led to "a legislative branch with diminishing clout."
