Rabid Republicans in Oregon senate
#3
RE: Rabid Republicans in Oregon senate
Besides the Civil War, well, here’s a Cracked article about crazy shit that happened in Congress, and #4 should be particularly relevant. Apparently, the Oregon State Senate found a way around the “present but not voting” ruling. Or at least they would have if they did have it, which I’m not sure they do:

This was actually a common occurrence in the U.S. congress until Thomas Brackett Reed ruled that congressmen who were in Congress but not voting actually count towards the quorum in 1890. Evidently, actually not being present instead of going and refusing to participate is a huge loophole for this principle.
