“400 pieces of legislation have my name on them as a sponsor or cosponsor when I was a senator for eight years. I worked very hard and was proud to be reelected by a bigger margin than I was elected the first time,” Clinton began.
“I will take that work as president in finding common ground. You have to get along with people to get things done in Washington. I have proven that I can and for 30 years I have produced results for the people.”
Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton stood by her record on the debate stage Sunday, saying that 400 pieces of legislation had her name on it. Only three pieces of legislation sponsored by Clinton, however, actually became law.
The Daily Caller reported in 2015 that Clinton actually sponsored 703 pieces of legislation during her Senate career, and co-sponsored 2,676 pieces of legislation, with a dismal passing average of .004 percent. Only three bills sponsored by Clinton were passed into law.
