2023's 118th Congress Records Historic Low in Productivity Amidst Political Turmoil, Passing Only 22 Bills

The 118th Congress, during the year 2023, has been marked as one of the least productive in modern history, passing a mere 22 pieces of legislation. The House and Senate saw a total of 724 and 352 bills voted on respectively, but only a fraction of them were successfully enacted, with a success rate of 0.001%. The year was riddled with political turbulence, including a delayed election for the House Speaker, disagreements over a debt ceiling bill, and the eventual ousting of Speaker Kevin McCarthy. The limited number of enacted bills primarily revolved around topics such as veterans’ affairs, healthcare, defense, education, and public health. Despite the legislative gridlock, there appears to be a potential Senate discussion looming about additional support for Ukraine before the annual recess.
