Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit semi-protected}} template. The wording in the lede says "championed and signed". While he certainly signed the Civil Rights Act of 1991, he vetoed the similar Civil Rights Act of 1990, so I don't think I would describe him as "championing" the 1991 version he signed. If we were to remove "championed" from the lede, then I think listing the Act of 1991 with the other 3 make sense. However, not sure if doing so would be an improvement as seeing which pieces he did champion is interesting information as well Cannolis (talk) 17:54, 29 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
