Meinke and Anderson (2001) find that presidential scandal impacts House of Representatives voting behavior on key votes cited by Congressional Quarterly. A slight revision and replication of Meinke and Anderson's research finds presidential scandal impacts Senate aggregate key votes reported by Congressional Quarterly. In addition, political party plays a more important role than scandal in determining the logged odds of Senate key votes and presidential agreement.In CopyrightPresidential-Congressional RelationsPresidential ScandalCongressUnited States PresidentUnited States CongressExecutive BranchU.S. SenateScandalLegislative BranchPresidencyExecutive-Legislative RelationsThesishttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/available/etd-05122009-123858/
