Congress faces major challenges ahead in 2024, after a tumultuous year that included the ouster of the House Speaker, a self-imposed shutdown when Republicans were unable to choose a new leader and one of the most fallow legislative stretches in its history.The 118th Congress is widely considered one of the least productive ever.While the House conducted nearly 750 votes, only 27 became law.Creating more laws is of course not the only measure for assessing the productivity of Congress, but even in recent years of divided government, lawmakers have passed more than 70 bills into law.“It was a weird year,” said U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine, D-VA., summing up a view held by many lawmakers.The critical view is held by Republicans as well as Democrats.“I want my Republican colleagues to give me one thing — one — that I can go campaign on and say we did. One!” thundered Rep. Chip Roy, R-TX., as he vented his frustration on the House floor last month.House Speaker election f...
