Joe Biden's policies, positions, and persona — and how his track record and policies on Israel are still relevant four decades later
Here are a few more highlights of bills sponsored or co-sponsored by Biden:
PASSED 2007: Required the Justice Department to develop a National Strategy Child Exploitation Prevention and Interdiction and improve the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force to fight child exploitation and abuse. Thousands of offenders have been put behind bars every year as a result of this measure.
FAILED 1997: Proposed a Constitutional amendment granting Congress the power to set “reasonable limits” on campaign donations and expenditures for candidates running for federal offices. The Senate voted this down 61–38.
VETOED 1991: The Family Leave Act entitled employees to 12 weeks of paid sick leave in a 12-month period to care for a child, spouse, or parent with a serious health condition or their own illness if it prevents them from performing the functions of their position. President George H.W. Bush vetoed the bill twice but it was eventually reintroduced and signed by President Clinton.
