Like most legislation, a bill is introduced for the sole purpose of a politician's next campaign, "I introduced this, this, and this." But little gets accomplished.
Imagine a reporter asking a senior member of Congress,
"There have been over 180 coronavirus bills introduced, beside the 3 that became law, can you update the Citizens on the progress and current status of some of those bills?"
