Facing a surge of obstructionism over the past decades, Majority Leaders have increasingly bundled together appropriation bills into one single legislative package so that the political costs of obstruction would be prohibitive. Using the 108th Congress (2002–2004) as a case study, the author highlights the political stakes of this move, as well as its long-term consequences.
