CRS Reports

Congressional Research Service (CRS) Reports

The CRS provides policy and legal analysis to the U.S. Congress. It is well-known for analysis that is authoritative, objective, and nonpartisan

CRS reports are a great source of background information--with references to primary sources--on a range of issues, including executive powers and procedures.

  • Note: Some CRS reports are regularly updated; the little clock/circular arrow icon means there are previous versions you can see.
