The WGR Leadership Institute was designed by Women in Government Relations (WGR) to give unique insights and perspectives on the inner workings of Congress. This year's series will feature six classes that will examine congressional procedure by focusing on procedures used by Members of Congress in the House and Senate as well as an in-depth view of the budget and appropriations process.
Senate Procedure - March 5, 2010
Learn why the founding fathers created procedures on the Senate floor in order to make the Senate “the deliberative body.” This session will discuss such subjects as: “motions to table,” “quorum calls,” “filibusters,” “cloture,” “post cloture,” the role of the Vice President and presiding officer, time agreements and all other features that govern debate on the Senate floor.
The Congressional Deskbook is available at Amazon.com for $47 and provides excellent support materials for the classes.
