When does lobbying occur?

Lobbying by lobbyists happens all the time. There is no set time or day. The term "lobbyist " comes from President Grants terms in office. Each after noon he would visit an hotel in Washington not far from the White House to have a bourbon and cigar. While sitting there people would approach him with issues they wanted him to address. Since he was in the lobby of the hotel the people who talked with Grant were soon called "lobbyists." Many lobbyists today represent a industry or issue that they are hired to get laws passed or put aside. Some today even write the laws and give them to members of congress to sponsor and support. They do have an effect on the government and laws.
