President Joe Biden, on his last Christmas Eve in the Oval Office, signed 50 bills into law, including measures that make the bald eagle the country’s official bird, preclude members of Congress from collecting pensions if convicted of crimes, establish the first federal anti-hazing college campus standard, and restrain federal agencies from issuing “useless reports.”

Among other legislation enacted by the president on Dec. 24 were resolutions naming federal buildings and post offices, as well as a law designed to hold youth treatment and care centers more accountable.
