How many bills are presented to congress each session?
Each session of Congress typically sees thousands of bills introduced. On average, about 10,000 bills are presented during a two-year congressional session, though the exact number can vary significantly. However, only a small fraction of these bills—usually around 3-5%—actually become law. The legislative process involves multiple stages, including committee reviews and votes, which filter out most of the proposed legislation.
How does congress deal with a large number of bills introduced?
They divide up into committees based on the topics of most of the bills they deal with. Each bill goes to the committee that deals with the topic of the bill, and the committee refines or reworks the wording and content of the bill before it goes to the floor for debate.
How many bills are introduced in congress during a term?
About 10,000 bills per session have been introduced to congress in the past fifty years. There have been 111 Congressional sessions so far, about one every two years. Since the United States Constitution went in effect on March 4th, 1789, Congress's first full year of action was 1790. It has, therefore; been about 210 years since the first bill was introduced. Even considering that there were far less introduced bills in the 18th and 19th centuries, as well as the fact that laws concerning the passing of bills have changed, there have still been 100s of thousands of bills proposed since Congress started active duty.

alot During last year's (2008) scandal over the Democrats using the practice of passing bills which did nothing more than honor someone or something to slip past Republicans some spending and regulatory bills without the benefit of or opportunity for debate, we learned more than 1100 bills are passed in this way per year.
