Thomas Brackett Reed
Czar Reed. He ended the disappearing quorum and made a House majority able to govern.
Thomas Brackett Reed is on the former-members chart, not the current Congress. The office on file is Speaker of the House, 1877–1899. The placement note is: Czar Reed. He ended the disappearing quorum and made a House majority able to govern.
The dot is economics +26 and authority +18. That is right of center on economics. The other axis sits toward authority. Former members are placed from the public career, not from a 119th Congress Voteview score.
No separate “said, then did” note is on file. The career sentence above is the whole of the written placement. It names the public fact the dot is built from, and it stops there.
The nearest other former members on these two numbers are John McCain (+26 / +22) and Bill Frist (+28 / +22). Nearness is not a school of thought.
This page does not add votes that are not in the placement note. The bills themselves are in the Congressional Record for those years.
