YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The 113th U.S. Congress recently went on summer vacation, having passed 145 laws — a record low. At the same point in their term, the infamous 80th "Do Nothing" Congress had passed some 900 pieces of legislation, including the Marshall and Truman plans! Inspired by the 113th Congress, AJ+ takes a look at some other numbers related to (not) legislating in 21st-century America.
