About America's Top Ten Bills

Why America's Top Ten Bills?

America's Top Ten Bills is a remixing of the data found at the Most Viewed Bills page that enhances that list in a couple of useful ways. It not only shows the sponsor of each measure, but also gives a readout of its past performance on the "chart" by detailing its previous week rank, peak rank and total number of weeks in the top 10.
