All the haters who say that Rep. Michele Bachmann (R Minn.) has a thin legislative resume are totally forgetting that time she sponsored H.R. 923 (110th) which congratulated the State of Minnesota on its 150th anniversary and the contributions it continues to make to America's economy and heritage. How else would you have known that Minnesota was 150 years old See Michele Bachmann raised awareness
Other than that sure Jake Sherman and John Bresnahan are essentially correct when they say that Bachmann has never had a bill or resolution she s sponsored signed into law and never wielded a committee gavel either at the full or subcommittee level and that her amendments and bills have rarely been considered by any committee even with the House under GOP control.
But you know details. There's still a chance between now and the time she leaves office on Jan. 3 2015 Bachmann might sponsor something that becomes law. Isn't there You never know what could happen Minnesota is 155 years old now for instance.
