Party politics are critical to Congressional organization based in part on two political theories. The predominately two party system of the United States is based on a primary system where representatives compete within their party for nomination as opposed to a direct vote. These processes automatically place these nominees into the dealings of what is known as "the machine," of State and national party platforms and hierarchy. The second theory is that party politics is important to Congressional organization through enforcing party discipline from the whips to maintain a coherent national party strategy and policy positions. Party membership is the guiding factor behind these congressional organization and machination theories.
