Why does congress have committees?

It would be impossible for congress to write bills, debate them and pass them if the whole process had to be undertaken one bill at a time. Hence standing committees are formed made up of a workable number of members, and each committee works on the bills that fall into its category and then presents a recommended bill to the full house. This is done in either the House or the Senate, and then the bill is sent to the other house. If the bill is amended, a conference committee smooths out the differences and presents a bill that both houses are willing to pass. Many committees are working simultaneously on different bills to save time for the full house.


Which congressman has sponsored the most bills?

Congressman Ron Paul (TX-14) has sponsored the most bills in the history of the United States. This is because most of his bills are always turned down by committee, so every session, he introduces the same bills over and over again. He is still serving in his 11th term in Congress. He is 74 years old, and has wrote the same bills for 25 years.
