What Bill is he trying to pass that requires him to be Prime Minister? Why couldn't he have put any legislature forward in the last 20 years?

He spent about half his career in government. Much of it has been spent in opposition.

He spent nearly half his life in government as an elected official. He has been involved in politics since he was 21, and was in university before that. He is literally a career politician.

When referring to MPs, "in government" refers to being part of the governing party. He is a career politician, landlord, and attack dog, but the Canadian electorate has only chosen his party to lead three times. He has spent a majority of his career yelling from the sidelines.
