an academic paper. If it is accepted practice, it sounds as if it doesn't violate the ethical standards for bill sponsorhsip.

But it still stinks. Especially when the person who is taking credit for the work is using that work as proof that they have experience that they don't have.

practice for working and introduction of bills. Sponsorship is just that - we are not talking about sponsoring bills (which is adding your support to a bill). We are talking about the creation and hard work in passing the bills - and no one wants "free loaders" to lie and take credit. Case in point Dodd, an Obama backer did not allow Obama to take credit for the Dodd/Frank bill on mortgages.
