What are some of the costs and benefits of seeking multiple cosponsors for a bill?
What will be an ideal response?
More co-sponsors can signal more support for a bill and can aid members in ensuring that committee hearings are scheduled. However, single sponsorship can be easier; each change to the bill will not require the buy-in of multiple cosponsors. Additionally, if the bill eventually becomes law, one member can claim more credit rather than sharing that credit with cosponsors.
