The electoral 'cost of governing' is widely considered a law-like phenomenon. However, costs of governing are not limited to the electoral dimension. This paper highlights and documents an unappreciated non-electoral cost of holding government office: diminished rhetorical simplicity. I argue that the functional demands of running government compel...
