What is the “Tuesday-Thursday club” and how does it impact deliberation?
What will be an ideal response?
The Tuesday-Thursday club is a group of members who spend only Tuesday-Thursday working in DC and spend long weekends at home in their districts. While this group was once a minority of members, most members follow this type of schedule today and votes are scheduled to accommodate this practice. The shortened workweek leaves little time for committee hearings, markups, and other important deliberative activities.
