If we look at Sanders’ record at Congress.gov, we can see that he has in fact sponsored a small number of bills which made it to the President’s desk. Although Sanders sponsored hundreds of pieces of legislation which date back to 1991, only three have become law.
Of all the bills that Sanders sponsored, we have the following breakdown:
- 357 introduced by Sanders
- 190 were considered by committee
- 12 were considered by the floor
- 1 failed one chamber
- 6 passed one chamber
- 3 passed both chambers, went to the President, and became law
Way to go Bern!w-thumbs!^
