What substantive bills did Hillary get passed while in Congress?

[TheDormouse]

Hillary and her supporters talk a lot about her experience and effectiveness.

They know that I will be a president who, yes, I will listen to people but I will stand my ground and I know how to get things done.

OK. So what bills did she actually get done in her only elected office, representing NY in the US Senate?

I'm not talking about bills naming post offices or federal highways, or declaring national hangnail month. I mean real bills that made a difference in people's lives.

What bills did Hillary get passed in the Senate?

[TheDormouse]

1. Don't everybody rush in at once

There's plenty of time for everyone.

[Zen Democrat]

2. I think she got a resolution past both houses of Congress for Purple Heart Veterans Day.

That's all I can think of.

[merrily]

3. Wasn't that more ceremonial than substantive?

4. The Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act ... and 74 others ...

Google is your friend ... well ... maybe not:

As a senator, Hillary Clinton "has her name on three laws in eight years."

Fact: Bernie Sanders Got More Done in the Senate than Hillary Clinton

While Sanders chaired the Senate’s Veteran Affairs committee during the 113th Congress (2013-2014), 13 of the committee’s bills became law. That may not sound like a lot until you realize that the Senate Veterans Affairs (VA) committee only passed 8.5 bills into law on average during each of the past 20 Congresses and that these 13 bills became law during the second least productive Congress in American history.

Sanders’ most significant achievement during 113th Congress was passing a $16.3 billion bipartisan VA reform bill that expanded existing and created new health care facilities, allowed veterans to go outside the VA system to private health care providers when wait times are too long or if a veteran lives more than 40 miles away from a VA facility, and made it easier to fire VA officials.

Sanders was so effective as a legislator that the (right-wing) Veterans of Foreign Wars awarded him its highest honor in 2015.

How many bills did Clinton successfully shepherd into law as the chair of a Senate committee? Zero. Clinton did not chair any Senate committees during the three Congresses she served in because she did not accumulate enough seniority.

5. One comes to mind

She made it a priority.
