The Final 4 of Countable’s Summer Bill Acronym Bracket

In honor of the House’s August recess and politicians’ penchant for the pithy bill acronyms that have grown in popularity since the passage of the USA PATRIOT Act, we’ve put together another tournament in which you — Countable users — will choose the best bill acronym of the 115th Congress.

Countable’s selection committee has chosen 16 of the most creatively, and in some cases spitefully, titled pieces of legislation this Congress has introduced. The winners of this round will face off in next Friday’s championship, and you’ll be able to vote on your favorites through Wednesday at midnight PT.

May the best bill acronym win!

Defending Elections against Trolls from Enemy Regimes (DETER) Act vs. Kittens In Traumatic Testing Ends Now (KITTEN) Act

No Oil Producing and Exporting Cartels (NOPEC) Act vs. Curb Objectionable Redirection of Resources and Unconstitutional Payments to Trump (CORRUPT) Act

PS (post scriptum) ― you can see the winner of our spring bill acronym bracket here.
