A review of recently introduced bills in the House of Representatives shows that at least some of its members wouldn’t have a problem with the Legislative Accountability Amendment. I have posted copies of four bills as introduced, and will keep track of them to see if they still would comply after committees get a hold of them:

• H.R 5767 by Barney Frank (D-MA)
• H.R. 5771 by Michael McCaul (R-TX)
• H.R. 5842 by Barney Frank (D-MA) and Ron Paul (R-TX)
• H.R. 5843 by Barney Frank (D-MA) and Ron Paul (R-TX)

H.R. 5842 and H.R. 5843 do violate the “known by number only, not by name” clause, but removing their Short Title sections would be a minor alteration.
