Senate passes lowest share of House bills in 25 years

The current Senate has passed the lowest percentage of bills that originated in the House in 25 years, according to a study released Tuesday.

The online platform Quorum said the Senate of the Republican-controlled 114th Congress, which started in 2015 and ends next month, passed 29 percent of bills sent to it from the House. That is down from 36 percent from 2013 to 2015.

The previous lowest record, according to the study, was 34 percent from 2007 to 2009 at the end of President George W. Bush's administration. Democrats had control of both chambers then.
