The Top 25 most-cosponsored bills in the US House of Representatives has been updated to reflect cosponsors added prior to Congress’ recess on Sept. 19. This was an unusually early recess for Congress and since Congress will remain out of session until after the November elections, cosponsor totals are unlikely to change until the lame duck session of Congress.
Each bill number in the table below links to a detailed time line and map of cosponsors for each bill, along with links to additional information on the legislation.
It is conceivable that national emergencies in the Middle East or with Ebola could require the House to return to session earlier, in which case additional cosponsors could be added prior to November.
