【 摘 要 】

Much has been discussed about the Senate and its role in the overall policymaking process. In order to understand the body’s overall role, it is essential to understand how the internal facets of this complex legislative body. By reviewing floor procedures, leadership styles, and committee structure- one will able to understand both the Senate’s shortcomings in unableto produce effective and meaningful legislation as well as the Senate’s ability to overcome structural strife. However, these negative aspects of the body’s traditions and norms have made the Senate a difficult body for deliberative policy action, as such; reform is required for the body to become a fully functioning part of the nation’s policymaking process.
