Symbolically read the constitution, skipped parts of it, and also read part of the Declaration of Independence, while still claiming to be reading the constitution.
2 Congressman swore themselves in by watching the swearing-in ceremony on TV, without actually attending. They later had to be sworn in again, and 2 of their votes were deemed invalid since they had not been properly sworn in.
“Symbolically” voted to repeal the healthcare bill. Spent hours debating it beforehand, even though they knew it was purely symbolic and would not become law.
Attempting to de-fund Global Warming research.
Attempting to defund healthcare, which is also mostly symbolic.
Proposed a budget that would cut billions of dollars in aid to the poor, the homeless, and women and children.
Extended the Patriot Act.
Attempted to cut all funding for Planned Parenthood and PBS.
Attempted to redefine rape to no longer include statutory rape, incest rape, or drugged rape.
Cut Pell Grants...

and more...
