With few exceptions, every law that was passed in Congress for eight years required Majority Leader Dick Armey's decision to put it on the floor of the U. S. House of Representatives. Leader Armey describes how Congress works and details important but little-known outcomes like deceptive government practices, legislative aftershock, and government by disguise. From his early childhood in Cando, North Dakota through his years in leadership including 9/11, the Iraq War, government shutdowns, political intrigue, and the tea party, Leader Armey candidly discusses his experiences during an important period in American history.
