116th House Already Has 321 Bills To Consider

As of the second day (January 4, 2019) the House of Representatives already has a list of 321 new bills submitted. I won't list them all but here are a few of the ones I found interesting. You can check them all out along with the latest updates via the link I provided below. Out of those seven I've listed H.R. 40 is the only one I disagree with. H.R.21: Making appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, and for other purposes. (PASSED)

H.R.26: To prohibit the pay of Members of Congress during periods in which a Government shutdown is in effect, and for other purposes. (INTRODUCED)

H.R.32: To allow the Secretary of the Treasury to accept public donations to fund the construction of a barrier on the border between the United States and Mexico and for other purposes.

H.R.40: To address the fundamental injustice, cruelty, brutality, and inhumanity of slavery in the United States and the 13 American colonies between 1619 and 1865 and to establish a commission to study and consider a national apology and proposal for reparations for the institution of slavery, its subsequent de jure and de facto racial and economic discrimination against African-Americans, and the impact of these forces on living African-Americans, to make recommendations to the Congress on appropriate remedies, and for other purposes. (INTRODUCED)

H.R.67: To provide for the compensation of Federal employees and other government employees furloughed during a Government shutdown, and for other purposes. (INTRODUCED)

H.R.102: To provide that rates of pay for Members of Congress shall not be adjusted under section 601(a)(2) of the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946 in the year following any fiscal year in which outlays of the United States exceeded receipts of the United States. (INTRODUCED)

H.R.113: To require the purchase of domestically made flags of the United States of America for use by the Federal Government. (INTRODUCED)
