Giant Pile of "dead" House-Passed Bills Stopped with Mitch McConnell's Senate

US. Senators are sharing photographs of the growing pile of bills passed by the House only to stymie on Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's desk.

The stack, a symbolic replication of legislation McConnell refuses to bring to a vote, was reportedly the brain child of Senator Debbie Stabenow. According to her office, it includes more than 300 bills about voter registration, background checks for firearm sales, domestic violence, climate change, minimum wage increases and other issues.

The do-nothing strategy spearheaded by McConnell's office seems intentional, Democrats claim. Back in September, McConnell promised to be a "grim reaper" to any and all progressive legislation. But, as multiple Senators pointed out Wednesday, more than 275 of these "dead" bills cleared the House with bipartisan support.

In a press conference meant to highlight the "legislative graveyard" Tuesday morning, Stabenow said that the American people expect Congress to pass legislation "that will improve their lives and improve the lives of their families." 

McConnell's office did not immediately respond to Newsweek emails and calls requesting comment about why he hasn't brought the packages to a vote in his chamber and whether he intends to in the foreseeable future.

To construct the pile, staffers printed out the exact language of the bills, excluding appropriations measures, that passed the House and await action in the Senate. Measures that passed with at least one Republican co-sponsor or vote in the House were considered "bipartisan," according to Stabenow's office.
