Which members of Congress have missed the most votes? | Morning in America

[@lorig4871]

This is another good reason for term limits

[@Liberalsareaplague]

If 99% of the American workforce only did their job 11% of the time, we would be out of a job immediately….when congress does it, they just “serve” another term. What a joke

[@smorris281]

I have sympathy for members of Congress and Senate who are suffering chronic medical conditions, but if it’s keeping you from voting long term and serving your constituents, then you need to step aside.

[@kentondickerson]

I think that the problem would be that there would have to be an election to replace them. By the time candidates could run and the election was held, their term would be up.

[@dreadfuldonkey]

every time you turn turn on C-SPAN, there’s never anybody in the seats, it’s always the Republicans talking to an empty room

[@lettucesalad3560]

maybe check yourself for dementia..

[@dreadfuldonkey]

@ just as soon as I can get Dr. Oz over to my house

[@rogerbouchard7135]

I would have agreed with you until you said it was mostly Republicans talking to an empty room. I believe the lose of people who missing is pretty even, it really depends on what channel you are watching.

[@pm5206]

Congress should not be allowed to be absent unless medical reasons like a normal job.

[@gc1172]

Yes , use standard business rules. For them a doctor's visit would be easy compared to most Americans getting into a doctor's appointment book.

[@christicovington]

I can understand if someone has a reasonable excuse because of bad health that comes unexpectedly but why would you run again if you know youre sick and not at 100%? Dont want to let go of that power and prestige I guess. 😐

[@judybrowdermoss2533]

Amen. Someone else can be their that need a job.

[@charlie-qh2ll]

Why has it taken this long for journalists to report on this on a scale that will reach the citizens? We've had a congress in this country for over 200 years, and journalists have existed along with it. It seems that journalists don't care about providing news to the citizens or holding our elected officials accountable any longer as long as they continue getting ever increasing compensation.

[@BajatheChickenMan]

The press corps protects these people like Biden up until the cat is out of the bag and run away. Only THEN they do their about face and report on it.

[@drowe2]

I was thinking the same thing- why isn’t this on the MSM, including fox

[@charlie-qh2ll]

@drowe2 I don't know. But our current president's press secretary does way too often say that asking questions is dangerous. That might have something to do with it and the general direction journalists have gone over the decades.

[@judybrowdermoss2533]

That is congress responsibility to correct this miss. Journalists don't know.

[@buickinvicta288]

Skip votes? 😂 They go missing, and no one notices. 😮🙄🤔

[@TheRandyGr]

They should dock their pay 10% for every missed vote. Miss 10 votes = you don't get paid.

[@ghost307]

And voting by remote or by proxy doesn't count.

[@lyriclanguages3780]

grijalva needs to leave. He doesn’t do shit for Arizona

[@DontWalkRunProduct]

Unfortunately the Congress and Senate has become a last job for the elderly😅

[@elrobo3568]

Grijalva needs to retire, he wasn't very good when healthy and now is a drag on Arizona.

[@cuteness51308]

This is so millennials can’t run. These people need to know when to retire. This is insane. We need terms and age limits.

[@sundreamer1599]

If you can't do your job everyday quit.

[@smorris281]

Right. Vance should have resigned when he became Trump’s running mate. Same goes for Biden when he was Obama’s running mate. Running for re-election is also no excuse to miss votes.

[@briankin5244]

This is similar to Kamala’s disappearance to Hawaii after losing the election like she no longer had a job to do.

[@judybrowdermoss2533]

I disagree with you. Kamala run for office day and night. I pretty sure her health suffered. She needed a vacation after a lost. That different than just being missing in action. They know we're Kamala was. Get off of her. She is out in a month. These congress members are their for a job.

[@cindycliburn716]

Citizen oversight needs to return to Capitol Hill in 2025. .

[@stevenwilliambaylessparks3730]

Keep the AIPAC checks coming.

[@donaldjoseph4013]

Age and term limits needs to be implemented

[@barbaraweronko7975]

No show, no pay

[@BajatheChickenMan]

The Social Security age is 65, no one should be able to serve in the federal government past that age, elected, appointed or hired.

[@reneethomas5548]

We need term limits.

[@anniesshenanigans3815]

agreed!! I am 61 and at 65 I will be considered 'aged out' for working in my field. But the scarier part in all this is that the top two were RE ELECTED!!!

[@mindywages2411]

Working hard for their constituents 😳

[@jamesryan9671]

LOL

[@lizhern9360]

If you're MIA you are not representing your constituents. Please consider how this affects our country. I would not hire anyone that misses doing their job.

[@debbiesmith816]

Government officials that do not work or vote when time should not be paid.

[@Craiglife777]

The (D)Raul Grijalva from AZ......and he was re-elected🤣🤣😂😂👍 Them voters ain't that bright.

[@davidnavarro4821]

The newsreport explicitly says he was battling cancer

[@lyriclanguages3780]

Actually I’m pretty sure there’s a lot of corruption. Him and his daughter always try to block any progress or opposition

[@buckiemohawk3643]

The JD Vance one was hilarious what you think is going to happen when someone gets tapped

[@davidbarnes4586]

The report stating that only 6% government employees report to work, should include Congressional members.

[@claytf4816]

If their votes were needed, they'd be there.

[@EricCanterra]

They don't want to give up the money or the power. Their attitude is 'piss on the constituents'. Terms limits must be seriously considered. Anyone else would be fired for this.

[@avagrego3195]

Good information

[@mrl8953]

love this type of news!

[@Cult_of_V5]

Funny how some of those got reelected 😂😂 remember people voted for those people, so all the blame can not be put on them 😅😊

[@nadinevalent4436]

why give up their "Cadillac " health insurance?

[@ginaslifetoo]

Well, considering. They voted to re-elect to democrats that have not done their job. They're job have have not represented their people. And we thought missing for 6 months was bad. Evidently not.

[@dharp1008]

Looking good Markie

[@DanielBohlsr]

No work fire no benefits DONE

[@Thaddeus-ml8if]

That last guy on the first one is young. He has no excuses.

[@anitahoffman5927]

Thats a BIG FAT NO

[@truthhurtsnews9206]

Congress...dui's...etc etc etc.

[@judybrowdermoss2533]

They have a congressman in office Grassley and he is 92. Now what sence is that. He needs to stop being greedy and let someone else run. Thats why we have the same old mess year after year nothing gets done bunch of seniors. Do your Country a favor. RETIRE. ITS TIME FOR THE YOUNGER FOLKS TO STEP IN. We need to start encouraging our young people to run for office. Put the seniors out.

[@arthurbrumagem3844]

Power with these people is just so important rather than a happy retirement

[@patrickhall3878]

Still has more days working than other government employees.. they had to be in the office once a month..

[@אמת-ש9י]

Mike Braun successfully ran for governor of Indiana not for Congress

[@popsandmajonestikiparadise3889]

Michael Kent Braun (born March 24, 1954) is an American businessman and politician who is the governor-elect of Indiana. A member of the Republican Party, he has served as the junior United States senator from Indiana since 2019 and previously represented the 63rd district in the Indiana House of Representatives from 2014 to 2017. Braun was elected to the United States Senate in 2018, defeating Democratic incumbent Joe Donnelly.[2] He was then elected governor in 2024, defeating Democratic nominee Jennifer McCormick and Libertarian nominee Donald Rainwater.

[@jerryshelton1481]

They should not be missing any votes unless the are medically impaired but there should also be a mechanism in place to be able to temporarily put someone in to vote for that person but only after consulting the representative

[@jrmeindl]

If only people would pay attention to what their reps are doing. A perfect reason to have term limits on these clowns.

[@lindaevans11031]

If these Congresspeople can’t do their job shouldn’t they be replaced. And does another Congressperson vote in their stead?

[@TC-uk2sg]

Yet people keep electing the same unworthy corporate puppets.

[@nonamenoname3638]

This shows voters will elect someone that's dead.

[@daviddiehl-gy2sq]

You should only be paid on days you show up. Make them clock in.

[@judybrowdermoss2533]

Something needs to be done with congress members being out. Tax payers are paying them good money to be their. I hope the speaker of the house and Jeffrey over the Democrat party to clean this mess up. If you not going to be their for the job. Step down. States should know and vote on a new person.

[@matthewross1756]

How many of those votes were simple procedural votes?

[@Commonsenseplease72]

Talk about stupid reporting. You say three members of congress died this year and give just one name. Give all the names or don’t give any names.

[@danusmc8012]

Why would you put Vance on there? Of course you are going to miss votes why you are running for vp. This information would have been more useful months ago

[@christinahamlin2381]

Bye sinema
