It’s no secret that the politically polarized 118th Congress hasn’t been able to accomplish much. In fact, this Congress has passed fewer bills in its first full year than any since the Great Depression—only 34. As a matter of perspective, the 117th Congress passed 362 bills during the Joe Biden administration and the 116th Congress passed 344 during the Donald Trump administration.
While precious little meaningful lawmaking occurred in year one of the 118th Congress, there is one very bright spot in year two—the 2024 FAA Reauthorization Act.
