Seconding whatever Pyro is doing, the Lincoln statute that we have pinned in the regional board is his work and I trust his expertise on gathering this stuff.

But even the wiki was not particularly reliable for this function in its heyday and the safest if most complicated route is still searching the AFG boards. (Though Laki I am sure will tell you it's full of such pitfalls as mistaking a House-passed bill for one that passed both houses and was signed.)

In particular, "against IRL" is one of the things that's hardest to collate because it encompasses basically everything we do.

You can find a list of laws up to a certain point on the wiki, but its quite outdated. Your only other option is to search for it in the government board unfortunately, or maybe someone who has been in the senate can recall them.

I doubt most of the senators can even do at this point. It's a whole mess.

Non-senators though, probably. Wink wink.

Yankee no longer posting has been a disaster in this regard.

Definitely, the bicameral legislation might make early bills confusing on its current status, but also when you using the "search" option which is by its own isn't the most convenient system for looking up bills, you might not know what the latest version of a certain bill if it has been amended later again (or repealed etc), esp since some bills would mass repeal and not reference the actual text or title in the repeal bill.

And of course, a thread title might not be updated correctly, and it's still not certain if the president actually did sign a bill (or veto it instead).
As President I will post signing statements in both the legislation's thread and my office thread, keeping in line with practice I followed as Southern Governor.
