Nov 2012

During her first term as Speaker, Nancy Pelosi got 308 bills through the House that became law.
During her second term, Speaker Pelosi got 258 bills through the House that became law.

That's 550 laws, some of which were the gymnast's equivalent of a double back with a double twist. We're talking about the stimulus, ethics reform, financial reform, minimum wage increase, repeal of DADT, fair pay for women, and much more.

In contrast, John Boehner got just 12 bills through so far (at the time the article was posted), and at this rate Boehner is on track to claim a mere 48 bills by the end of the term.
