Abstract

Abstract This chapter discusses the implications of the book’s findings for representation and democratic governance. The book assesses the normative tradeoffs posed by the arguments and findings presented in the previous chapters. The book’s findings suggest that individual members of Congress are exploiting the separation of powers by using agency policymaking to make policy changes that would not pass the collective body of Congress. However, given the growth of administrative policymaking and the challenges of gridlock in Congress, inter-branch communication may serve as a remaining means for preserving democratic norms. Yet, the book’s discussions of issues of transparency and democratic equality (or lack thereof) suggest that the current state of inter-branch policymaking and representation is far from ideal.
