    I’m not from the states so please forgive me if this is incorrect, but I’ve read a “bill” can start out as one thing. Get a load of traction, then be changed last minute to something else entirely just before the vote. Is that true? Seems impossible track if it is

      Yup. Check the title of this bill vs the amendment

      https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/119/s1318/text

      “Fallen Servicemembers Religious Heritage Restoration Act”

      Amendment: "… Strike out all after the enacting clause and insert:

      1.Short titles; table of contents (a)Short titles This Act may be cited as the Foreign Intelligence Accountability Act and the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act."
