Shull (political science, U. of New Orleans) and Shaw, a Chicago-based survey specialist look at factors that may influence four kinds of direct interaction between executive and legislative branches of the US government: a president taking a position on congressional votes, legislative support of a president's position, a president vetoing legislation, and budget agreement between the two branches. They explore whether the important factors are within either branch, and if so which, or are external to both. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
