Question

A President may persuade recalcitrant members of Congress to vote for a particular bill by (A) having members who oppose the bill transferred to unpopular committees (B) denying campaign funds to members who oppose the bill (C) threatening to deny re-nomination to members who oppose the bill (D) regulating certain industries to protect the public interest (E) increasing the President's patronage powers

Answer 1

A President may persuade members of their own party to vote for a particular bill by B, denying campaign funds to members who oppose the bill.

The President is often thought to be the leader of whatever party they are a member of, giving them a tremendous amount of power when it comes to the raising of money as they are the top draw.

So, a President can use campaign funding as a stick and a carrot to get members of Congress to vote a particular way.

If the member in Congress is in the opposition, they are out of luck.
