Do-Nothing Congress

For the summer 2024 boot camp I predicted which bills in the 118th Congress would become law -- as of June 1 2024, only 64 of the 15,000+ bills had become law, making the Congress a "Do-Nothing" Congress. I originally did this project using sklearn's logistic regression with very minimal feature selection. Now that I have more experience with Python, I want to revisit this project and explore some NLP techniques. The data was gathered using Legiscan API, and includes summaries of each bill. (It may even be possible to acquire the entire text of each bill.)
