How is it that Sam Rayburn died on November 16, 1961, but served in Congress until November 17, 1961? MarkieAA ( talk) 18:26, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
This is not a very good article in that it doesn't cover any of the landmark, New Deal-era legislation that Rayburn had his name on not to mention his work as a congressional newbie (mostly concerning railroads) when Woodrow Wilson was president; his whole congressional career gets skipped over until he becomes Speaker of the House.
The article doesn't even mention Rayburn's role as speaker when he used his power this way to extend the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940 in August of 1941; renewal passed by ONE vote and Rayburn banged down the gavel to seal it before any of the Congress could change their votes nor his role in the post-war Marshall Plan.
