Presidential Rhetoric and the Congressional Agenda Setting Process
Abstract
Can the president use rhetoric to set the Congressional agenda? This study examines the president's legislative agenda as set forth in the State of the Union addresses from 1947-1993. This agenda is then compared with the Congressional agenda, as measured by Congressional policy hearings. This research concludes that the president and Congress have completely different policy agendas.
