Gingrich

The history section gives a lot of coverage to Newt Gingrich’s criticism of the Democratic majority and his stated intentions with regards to good governance, but doesn’t cover the stark polarization that (I would argue was a big part of the Contract With America but more importantly) resulted, including multiple government shutdowns and the Clinton impeachment proceedings. I’m all for presenting a balanced view, but if you’re only presenting Gingrich as a champion of good governance, compromise, and bipartisanship, you’re failing to present his achievements in making the GOP more aggressive, combative, and polarized, which he believed would win them back the majority (which they did under his leadership). Perhaps a sentence could be added about the shutdowns and impeachment proceedings, which were both on a scale not seen any other time in the 20th century, and perhaps another sentence on what led to Gingrich’s resignation. 108.2.153.237 ( talk) 18:07, 31 December 2023 (UTC) reply

Change the number of total representatives present in the house to 435, and number of democrats to 213 please (Suozzi was inaugurated today). Tyrant15 ( talk) 00:35, 29 February 2024 (UTC) reply

 Done I updated the number of democrats to 213 and reduced vacancies to 3. I'm not sure where you're seeing fewer than 435 representatives. Jamedeus ( talk) 01:06, 29 February 2024 (UTC) reply

The change needed is the number of vacant House Seats which should be three instead of four. The bubbles showing the house vacant seats is correct with three and the number of Republican seats is 219 and not 218. 219 + 213 + 3 = 435. 2600:1014:B138:E9D1:0:E:5A5:9401 ( talk) 10:37, 22 March 2024 (UTC) reply

 Not done: Ken Buck has made his resignation effective today (22 March). Personally, I'd rather wait for a source to confirm the resignation, but given that a sudden change is unlikely, I think it's unnecessary to revert over this. Presumably someone will also move the mention of him at List of current members of the United States House of Representatives#Vacancies out of the comment later today.
