Only one bill sponsored by Ron Paul ever became law during his 25 years in Congress.

Ron Paul was in the House from 1979 to 1985, and then again from 1997 to 2013. A total of the two tenures of 25 years. And according to the official congressional bill tracker... There's only one bill that he sponsored that ever became law. And it was in 1920... I'm sorry, 1929. It actually might make more sense if it was in 1929. In 2009, and the bill... All it said was, quote, to authorize the Administrator of General Services to convey a parcel of real property in Galveston, Texas to the Galveston Historical Foundation. That's all he ever achieved of his own volition in 25 years in the House of Representatives! Now, he did co-sponsor a number of bills, but those are bills that other people put forward that he just put his name on.
