| Sumario: | Abstract: How do governors affect party discipline at the National Congress? In this article, we evaluate governor’s influence on national legislators’ behavior, within the context of a federal State such as Argentina. Through an analysis of roll-call data, we determine that governors do influence on legislators’ behavior on a way that when they keep one voice in relation to their position on a particular issue, the discipline is much stronger than when they have conflicting opinions, even more so among deputies than senators. Findings reinforce the under covered importance of considering governors a key role player on national Executive- Legislative relation and party discipline.
