Congress is a graveyard of bills that failed to become laws. In fact, for the 113th Congress, over 5700 separate bills were introduced to the House and Senate floor. Of those bills, however, only 56 became public law. Passing legislation is indeed a daunting task, especially when the odds of any bill becoming law are one hundred to one.
