Disclaimer. Don't rely on these old notes in lieu of reading the literature, but they can jog your memory. As a grad student long ago, my peers and I collaborated to write and exchange summaries of political science research. I posted them to a wiki-style website. "Wikisum" is now dead but archived here. I cannot vouch for these notes' accuracy, nor can I say who wrote them.
Sinclair. 1997. Multiple paths: The legislative process in the House of Representatives. in Classics in Congressional Politics.
Outlines the several possible rules that can be attached to a piece of legislation and how they affect floor consideration of a bill. Interesting as a factual resource, but not much of theory here (other than the implication that rules matter, and a change in the rules leads to a change in which groups and interests are empowered).
Weisberg et al. (1990) include this reading as a contrast with the norms-based literature.
