Assessments
Latimer materially pursued the promise in his federal term by introducing the POINT Act and offering two amendments aimed at limiting executive or military interference around elections, including in New York. But none of these measures were enacted, and the amendments were blocked before receiving a vote. Under the stated rule, a serious legislative attempt that fails to achieve enactment counts as never, with an effort badge.
