Last week, First Year Councilor Robert Pendley proposed a bill to the University of Alabama's student senate that would change their enumerated titles from "councilor" to "councilman" or "councilwoman."

Councilor Pendley cited that this bill was meant to replicate the standard the United States Congress uses, and went on to suggest that the SGA should focus on imitating higher forms of U.S. government.

The proposed bill does a fantastic job of meeting this U.S. standard of legislation. It almost precisely emulates the absolutely useless bills that have been flowing from the bowels of Representative Boehner's Congress this past year.
