How I changed the law with a GitHub pull request

I agree but politicians shouldn't be the contributors. Representatives don't actually write the laws. I'd like to see the name of the staffer or lobbyist who wrote the text. Also, it should be a federal crime to falsify the name of the author or make changes for someone else.

I would like to see who wrote the text AND who submitted it. As in the lobbyist who wrote the text AND the politician who submitted it...

Lobbyists would need the ability to write/amend laws or the current system of graft wouldn't work.

I.e., your design if not bug-compatible will be rejected.
