Abstract:
|
Previous research has demonstrated that constituency opinion, party affiliation, and ideology all affect the way of a member of Congress votes on legislation. However, the circumstances under which the USA Patriot Act was drafted and passed, as well as controversy surrounding later amendment and reauthorization votes, might have been expected to alter traditional influences on members’ voting behavior. This paper reveals some of the key relationships that affected member votes on the USA Patriot Act in 2001 and in 2005, as well as reasons why members changed their votes. Logistic regression demonstrates that personal ideology, constituency opinion, and member party all impacted member’s voting decisions in 2001 and 2005, but that party and ideology were the primary causes of a change in member vote. |
