4 bills in this category
The 119th Congress adopted rules clarifying that 'each day' does not mean 'each calendar day' — codifying the long-standing fiction that a single 'legislative day' can span weeks or months. Congressional time is not real time.
Would dissolve the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives entirely and transfer its remaining functions to the FBI. Because apparently alcohol, tobacco, firearms, AND explosives don't need their own agency.
Targets 'zombie' federal programs that have expired but keep getting funded anyway. Yes, the federal government has been funding dead programs to the tune of hundreds of billions. They just won't stay dead.
Would require every bill in Congress to address only one subject, clearly stated in the title. In other words, no more hiding the Bridge to Nowhere inside a 1,000-page transportation bill. Shockingly sensible.
