Agenda-Setting Power in the Legislative Process

Quick fact

In most legislatures, the majority party or its leaders can control which bills reach the floor, meaning that bills supported by most legislators can still die if never scheduled for a vote.

Why this is interesting

You might think that whatever a majority of legislators favor will become law. But what if the choice of what even gets voted on is already controlled by someone else?
