"Nobody gets a personal national bill except Presidents." I don't understand this claim. No matter how I parse it, it seems wrong. If by "national bill" you mean legislation, then lots of non-Presidents get bills named after them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_legislation_named_for_a_person https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_legislation_named_for_... If by "national bill" you mean money, then 28% of bills are for non-Presidents. https://www.thoughtco.com/faces-on-us-currency-4153995 https://www.thoughtco.com/faces-on-us-currency-4153995 What "personal national bill" are you referring to?

With very few exceptions, legislators don’t get a bill that they single-handedly draft and pass that has national implications. On occasion, for totally local issues, they’ll have the power to ram something through. But if it has national implications, it will be the work of many. Cantwell tanking bills just because it has co-sponsors doesn’t make sense.
