(54,413 posts)It is incorrect to state that Bernie Sanders never sponsored a bill that became law. He penned a total of three bills which were enacted as law, although two of those simply renamed post offices. Sanders is listed as a co-sponsor on over 200 pieces of legislation.
If we look at Sanders record at Congress.gov, we can see that he has in fact sponsored a small number of bills which made it to the Presidents desk. Although Sanders sponsored hundreds of pieces of legislation which date back to 1991, only three have become law.
Of all the bills that Sanders sponsored, we have the following breakdown:
357 introduced by Sanders
190 were considered by committee
12 were considered by the floor
1 failed one chamber
6 passed one chamber
3 passed both chambers, went to the President, and became law
