I wonder how many bills/laws have been WRITTEN by and PASSED by your

favorite politician.

You can look it up as enacted legislation.

for instance, in a very very short period of time, Al Franken enacted 4 very important bills/laws or legislation

Some folks have been in government for a VERY long time and done little more than this, you can find out for yourself who they are.

Unfortunately the most active is Orrin Hatch, doing mostly bad things of course.

I suppose, for instance, if one was looking for a presidential candidate this might be one metric you could use to see just how effective they are in actual reality.
