I was curious about this, and so I found that the entire time that Bernie Sanders has been in the Senate, only two pieces of legislation he has sponsored has actually become law.

When he was a member of the House of Representatives, he only sponsored one bill that became law, which was to rename a post office

Still in the "Introduced" stage. Given the amount of lobbying in the US, and isn't the US senate Republican controlled(?), and lack of bipartisan cooperation, seems impossible for this to go anywhere.
