President Joe Biden had a busy Christmas Eve, signing off on 50 bills including one that formally designates the bald eagle as America’s official bird.

With less than a month left to go in his disastrous presidency, the outgoing leader and his handlers are determined to leave a lasting stamp on the nation with a flurry of late actions with the holiday bill signing coming a day after Biden commuted the death sentences of more than three dozen federal inmates, including child killers.

Among the bills signed was a law backed by celebrity Paris Hilton, the Stop Institutional Child Abuse Act, which protects children in residential treatment centers from abuse. The singer and actress has spent months lobbying for the bill’s passage.

Another bill, the Stop Campus Hazing Act requires federally funded institutions of higher learning to include reported hazing incidents in their annual security report; the first federal anti-hazing law.

Biden also signed a bill preventing members of Congress convicted of certain crimes from collecting their pensions.

Bill S.932 “makes a Member of Congress who has been convicted of a crime related to public corruption ineligible to receive retirement payments pursuant to the Civil Service Retirement System or the Federal Employees’ Retirement System based on service as a Member,” according to Congress’s website.

The bill comes after disgraced Democrat Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) was indicted on bribery and corruption charges.

S.4610, which was sponsored by Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), amends the U.S. Code to designate the bald eagle as the “national bird” which it never has been despite being featured on the Great Seal of the United States since 1782.

Even though the creature has long been America’s unofficial mascot, the symbol was never official until Biden signed off on the bill which unanimously passed Congress.

Additional bills renamed federal buildings and post offices in honor of local heroes.

A post office in San Francisco will be named after longtime Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) who died last year. Another post office in Bastrop, TX will now be known as the Sergeant Major Billy D. Waugh Post Office in honor of the Special Forces member and CIA intelligence officer who served the country for over fifty years.

The bill was sponsored by Texas GOP Sens. Ted Cruz and John Cornyn.

The Lynchburg, VA Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) community clinic has been renamed as the Private First Class Desmond T. Doss VA Clinic in honor of the World War II hero who refused to carry a weapon due to his devout religious beliefs. Doss was immortalized in the 2016 Mel Gibson movie “Hacksaw Ridge.”

The White House issued a press release listing the bills signed by Biden and thanking the lawmakers who were responsible for their leadership in the passage of the legislation.

Most notable about the more than four dozen bills was the lack of any that were of a destructive nature, a pleasant surprise.
