In total, 241 bills and resolutions were introduced on Day 1: 187 bills, 11 Constitutional Amendments, and 65 Resolutions.

Seven would alter or repeal the individual mandate for Obamacare (ACA).
Three pertain to comprehensive immigration reform; five limit funding for the Administration’s deferred action (DACA) program.
Ten provide some kind of limitation or reduction in Congressional pay, benefits, or terms.
Already two concern the naming of post offices.

Rep. Marsha Blackburn introduces bills to cut federal spending across the board at 1% (HR 39), 2% (HR 49) and 5% (HR 58).
Rep John Conyers re-introduced his bill to acknowledge the fundamental injustice of slavery between 1619 and 1865 and to establish a commission to to examine its effects and make recommendations on appropriate remedies. (HR 40)
