Missing amendments in several bills #209

Closed nickrecchi closed 4 months ago

nickrecchi commented 1 year ago

Several bills contain an issue where the amendedAmendment is referencing an amendment that doesn't exist in the bill. I've been encountering this since the recent 3.0.0 schema update (usgpo/bill-status#200). The following bills have this issue:

117hr3684: Missing samdt 2137
117hr5376: Missing samdt 5194
117s1260: Missing samdt 1782
115hr2: Missing samdt 3176
115hr6147: Missing samdt 3399
115hconres71: Missing samdt 1116

@nickrecchi - thanks for pointing this out. We are looking at a resolution.

The \<amendment> count seems to be limited to 250 even if there are more amendments. For example in 117HR5376, there should be 295 amendments, but there are only 250: https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/5376/amendments

117S1260 should have 616 amendments, but has 250. https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/1260/amendments
