She passed many famous laws

Speaker Pelosi oversaw the House's approval of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which was designed to create and save millions of American jobs, aid American families, and give a tax break to 95% of working Americans, in early 2009 in collaboration with President Obama. Pelosi continues to emphasize the need to generate employment in the United States and stop them from being sent abroad with the help of the House Democratic Caucus.

Speaker Pelosi also led the 111th Congress in passing the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act, which broadens educational opportunities and overhauls the financial aid system to save billions of taxpayer dollars, as well as tough Wall Street reforms to control big banks and safeguard consumers. The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which restores access to our legal system for women and all workers to fight pay discrimination, legislation to provide health care for 11 million American children, national service legislation, and hate crimes legislation were also significant pieces of legislation that were signed into law.

Under Speaker Pelosi, the House approved the strictest ethics reform legislation in the history of Congress, including the establishment of an independent ethics panel. This law also strengthened accountability and openness in House operations, including improvements to earmarks. As House Speaker, Pelosi spearheaded the effort to enact the DISCLOSE Act, which assures more disclosure and prevents corporate meddling in American democracy. She is still working to pass this legislation.
