- Abstract
The article compares the extent of the decisions greatly influenced between the president and that of the members of the Congress in the U.S. It has been noted that the president tends to have preferences which are more national and stable. Congress, on the other hand, are more susceptible to special interest or parochial legislation which often produce policy outcomes that are more public-regarding. Further analysis on the unitary presidency model and myopic Congress is also discussed.
