Publication Type: Proceeding Abstract: Are omnibus appropriations bills simply the result of a distracted, gridlocked, or even lazy legislative branch or do they serve a very specific purpose in congressional electoral strategies? In the course of this paper we examine the opportunities that appropriations bills provide for members of Congress to both claim credit and avoid blame, in the vein of Mayhew and Arnold. To do this the appropriations bills from the 99th through the 108th Congresses are examined for factors contributing to their inclusion in any omnibus appropriation that arose for that fiscal year. Using this frame, tests of ideological gridlock and electoral concerns are employed to illuminate at what level (from the subcommittee, to the full committee, all the way to the presidential level) theses effects are most pronounced. This piece builds on a prior paper of the same name presented at the MPSA Conference in April, 2006. It expands the examination of the electoral effects to include retrospective member election returns, prospective reelection concerns, and a finer analysis of general election year effects.
