Signing rules might sound neat, but let’s hope it’s more than just bureaucratic busywork.

If it keeps agencies honest without tying them in knots, maybe it’s a win for everybody.

So now rules have to pass the 'sign here or else' test? Sounds like a power grab, not progress.

No more passing the buck—if you write the rule, you better sign the rule. Accountability starts at the top.

Making bureaucrats play dress-up with signatures won’t fix the system, but it’ll sure slow down justice.

Finally, someone’s making agency heads actually own their decisions—no more hiding behind the curtain!

Sure, accountability’s great—unless it turns into a game of ‘who signed it and why?’

Rules need a boss, not a committee; this bill puts the power where it belongs.
