Single Issue Bills for Congress

Liberty
1038

This might be a bigger job than most think as U.S. Code is divided into titles that cover various areas of federal law. Here’s a brief overview of select titles (1 to 50) and their general focus, particularly concerning legal maintenance requirements: It might make sense to simply create a bill that lists the Titles and states a sunset clause by Title, the advantage would be certain areas could be granted less frequent reviews and longer sunset clauses, and others short ones to keep the representatives actively engaged in working to ensure Americans opportunity to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are not infringed by an over sized federal bureaucracy .
