Abstract
I study the impact of bicameralism on presidential agenda setting in Congress. I examine how the president's influence over the House and Senate is affected by the very strong impact that the House and Senate exercise over each other's agendas. To answer this question, I develop an innovative and comprehensive dataset of the 6,818 policy issues covered by both House and Senate bills introduced in the 103rd Congress. My analysis shows that estimates of the president's influence on the agenda of a single chamber of Congress can produce biased results unless they explicitly control for the influence of the second chamber.
