Lowest Face Value: bills that reach furthest past their name

Face Value starts every bill at 100 and takes points off for each title of the US Code it amends beyond the first, and for its length. Counted from the bill's own published text.

Bills of at least 25 sections whose text has been read. Breadth in a short bill is incidental; in a long one it is the point. The formula, in full. Face Value measures how far a bill reaches, not whether anyone was trying to mislead you — omnibus in all but name is a description of a document, not of its sponsor.
