Author of the Reed Rules of the House which did away with the "disappearing Quorem" or sometimes called the Filibuster in the House.
Allowed the legislatures to pass more Bills and spend more Money....and he was a Republican!
Aheeeemmmm....”The Chair directs the Clerk to record the following names of members present and refusing to vote.”
