  • Roll call for this vote if you want to see how your representative voted and perhaps give them some feedback.

    EDIT: The Clerk’s website went down earlier. When it came back up, it looks like they’re returning the wrong results. The vote to table the impeachment resolution was roll call #175, the number you see in the URL. It looks like it’s now displaying the results for roll call #178 on the page, a vote to adjourn. I’ve updated the link to an alternate view that seems to be returning the results for the correct vote, but please check the title of page in case this gets broken again.






  • Germany didn’t choose hydrogen because of its greater lifting capacity, they had to use it because the US was the only country at the time with industrial quantities of helium, and they weren’t exporting it. The Hindenburg was originally planed to use helium, but once the Zeppelin Company resigned themselves to having to use hydrogen, they added addition passenger staterooms to take advantage of the excess lift capacity.
