Version Control for Congress

I like this idea.

If you ignore the stuff about Linux and whatnot, the idea is that every line of every bill and law would have to have a “tag” attached that lists who inserted that line.

In addition, the stuff that was added, but later removed, would be preserved so that it would be possible to track who made changes to the (eventual) law that made it what it became when the voting happened.

Fascinating idea.

    Accountability for more than just their votes…

    I like it, too. Doubt if it would come to be, but it’d be sweet.
