When bills are introduced to Congress, they often include a clause that names the legislation, like the "Patriot Act", and the "Affordable Care Act". These names are often designed as marketing - to sound as positive as possible to the public - and often mislead the public about what the legislation actually does.
We call on the president to request a bill that bars legislation from specifying its own name, but instead requires the non-partisan Government Accountability Office to review introduced legislation and give a it a name of no more than twenty-five words that objectively delineates the major effects of the legislation, and to review and rename the legislation as necessary as amendments are adopted.
