Download releasepoints

Download all USC releasepoints into a directory called USC_RELEASEPOINTS with:

`$ python downloadusc.py `

This does two things:

• Download the releasepoints, each in its directory, to the constants.USC_RELEASEPOINTS directory

• Create a file in JSON format at constants.USC_RELEASEPOINT_JSON_PATH (USC_RELEASEPOINTS/uscreleasepoints.json) This JSON is an array of objects, each of the form:

  ```json
  {"name": "116-91", "date": "12/19/2019", "titlesAffected": ["18", "20", "26"], "url": "https://uscode.house.gov/download/releasepoints/us/pl/116/91/xml_uscAll@116-91.zip"},
  ```

Load releasepoints into XCiteDB

`$ python loaduscxcite.py `

This reads the releasepoints list from uscreleasepoints.json and loads the titles from each directory to XCiteDB
