Secondly, the paper will discuss the methodological processes and standards used to determine if presidential mentioning is influential on legislative success. The next section will identify key findings to determine if the hypotheses of the study can be confirmed, as well as discuss limitations to the study. Finally, the paper will look at future implications that this study has within legislative productivity research.
