How did 9/11 affect Bush’s policy-making dynamic with Congress?
What will be an ideal response?
Bush’s presidency can effectively be described by two periods—pre-9/11, focused on a largely domestic agenda, and post-9/11, with a strong focus on defense and national security. Pre-9/11, Bush experienced declining popularity and an increasingly difficult-to-work-with Congress. However, after 9/11, Bush’s approval rose sharply and Congress was quick to cooperate with him and let him take the lead on policies relating to national security.
