Political scientist Larry Sabato notes some effective congressmen write few bills. Georgia’s Newt Gingrich, backing a failed budget plan, shows power without prolific legislation. South Carolina’s Thurmond and Hollings differ in approach yet cooperate to move bills, with Hollings converting about 40 percent into law.
