    How would mandatory reading delays based on bill length affect Congress's ability to respond quickly to urgent legislation like funding bills or national emergencies?

  2. 02

    What evidence supports the claim that senators need one day per 20 pages to meaningfully review bills, versus other possible timeframes?

  3. 03
