Republican lawmakers have admitted they got practically nothing done this year as President Donald Trump’s agenda stripped away their legislative output and dominated their work.
Just 38 bills were passed into law by Congress this year, in what is on record as the lowest legislative output for a first-year presidency in decades, The Washington Post reports.
The numbers are practically half the amount Congress accomplished during Trump’s first year in office in 2017, when 78 bills were passed. Under Joe Biden, 68 bills were passed in the first year of his presidency, while Obama’s administration signed off on 119 new laws in 2009.
