- dragonwriter 6y ago> Joe Biden wrote the original Patriot act. No, he didn't. USA PATRIOT Act was from Rep. Sensenbrenner (R-WI). It incorporated material from 3 earlier bills, one of which was also by Rep. Sensenbrenner (R-WI), the others by Sen. Daschle (D-SD) and Rep. Oxley (R-OH). https://www.congress.gov/bill/107th-congress/house-bill/3162/text/enr https://www.congress.gov/bill/107th-congress/house-bill/3162...
