Bills
Posted: Mon May 02, 2011 3:10 pm
I did the math (I got bored), so I figured this out.
There were, in total, 8737 bills, resolutions, joint resolutions, etc. filed.
To have all of them read, and voted on, they would have to do 62.4 bills a day-41.65 in the House, and 20.75 in the Senate.
2238 Bills have ben passed in both houses so far. No numbers as to each individual chamber. And no numbers as how many failed. Assuming all the bills considered have passed, there are 6499 remainng.
For both Houses, to read, consider, and vote for all of the remaing bills, they will have to do it at a rate of about 300 per day until this month. Since the House filed twice as many, it would be 200 per day for the House, and 100 per day for the Senate.
My math may be a little off. I set the remaining days as 21.
