A rider is an amendment attached to a bill, that has nothing to do with the subject of the bill, in order to change something. For example say they try to pass a new health care bill. A Congressman ( or group) will attach an amendment that sets or changers a law regarding interest rates on loans, which has nothing to do with health care.

Congressional riders are additional provisions added to a bill that is unrelated to the main purpose of the bill. They are often used as a way to advance specific policy objectives or to make amendments that might not pass on their own. Riders can be controversial because they can bypass the normal legislative process and get attached to must-pass bills, increasing the chances of being enacted into law.
