Of course I read the footnote. But that does not prove Kennedy lied. Rather it proves that you are quick to grasp at anything to support your belief. Where is your proof that Franklin's proposal was denied?

One of the first things the first House did was to establish the office of Chaplain. And what was the duty of the Chaplain? To lead the House in prayer.

My question is, where did the 1st Congress get the notion that a Chaplain was needed, if not from the precedence set in the Continental Congress?
