Every bill going through Congress should have a complete change log on it. Every word, line or paragraph should have the name of the Congressman (no staffers allowed) who authorized it to be added or deleted along with the date and time of the change. Every vote in committee or on the floor should be attached too - no more voice votes or unanamous consents on bills. Also, the electronic copy with the change log should be the official copy so there is no chance that handwritten changes can be made. If you want it voted on it has to be typed into the computer and associated with the Congressman putting it into consideration (again, no hiding behind anonymous "staffers").

Wow, that’s the way a bill should be implemented.

It’ll never happen!
