As Congressional gridlock and dysfunction worsen, Schoolhouse Rock's "I'm Just a Bill" seems to be missing a few key steps.

Just missed two things, when a corporation tells you what bills to introduce, and when they pay everyone off to pass it.

The Senate can get around that by taking any House-passed bill, deleting every word of it, and inserting whatever they want in its place.

In 1973 when the episode of Schoolhouse Rocks aired we didn't have all the problems we ave today. For example back then the members of one party didn't just vote against a bill because it was authored by the other side just to prove the other side of the aisle isn't accomplishing taking care of the American People. Because, most of the politicians were willing to work together in a Bipartisan (Compromise to get things done, not stall or hold up needed improvements as a political stunt)way for the good of the Country, and her people. Also, Special Interests,Lobbyist, were much less of a problem, and there was little or no Dark Money. Also, the laws that monitored donations, and gifts to members of Congress were still being in forced, and they all had to turn over the financials. So of that and more is what is keeping our country from improving, and being great.

On Schoolhouse Rock they only had 3 minutes to tell kids about it. That’s not enough time to put all the other information in it. Kids probably wouldn’t be interested in the other stuff anyway.

Love the video, but the creator should have left the longer sentences up just a teensy bit longer. I'm actually a quick reader but didn't manage to catch a few words, so I can't imagine people who read slower than me were able to see it all. And it's good stuff! Hehe!

+Emily Phillips Actually, what they give is the legal requirements, not the actual requirements. The additional requirements have to do with ambiguity for structure of the House/Senate, filibusters, iron triangles, and the M-I complex.

Amazing how the country with the cheapest fastood and most choice of food becomes the fattest nation and as a result slips in health rankings. But I guess you can blame the healthcare for peoples unhealthy life styles.
