ALT1: ... that a magic minute can take over eight hours? Source: "She used her unlimited, 'magic' minute, available in the House to only to party leaders, to speak for more than eight hours, reading story after emotional story about DREAMers who aspire to become U.S. citizens."
Nancy Pelosi told DREAMer stories for more than 8 hours on the House floor
Comment: Maybe the strangest DYK nomination I've made. While the credit tool will tell you I have five credits, I was
incorrectly credited with one of them – I have four. Strong preference for ALT0 over the others.

I think the lead needs more of an introduction. The introduction does not properly introduce the substance of the article. I added a few sentences and a reference and changed the first section to background - the heading, "custom" may be ok, but I have not seen it used before. I think most people will not know about parliamentary rules and so we need to do more to introduce the article. I think the article is interesting and I like the specifics about for instance "baby carrots" and "Nancy's high heels".The article was created January 1st, so it is new enough. It is long enough with 2400+ characters. The article is referenced and uses proper inline citations. There is a good use of notes in the article. No copyright violations.ATL1 is the hook I approve as the most interesting. Ping me if you are able to improve the lead.

I personally don't see the lead as that big an issue, but have
lengthened it pursuant to your suggestion. For clarity's sake, are you witholding approval for ALT0? If so, I think that's a shame – it's probably the quirkiest one of the ones I've suggested.

I have no issue with ATL0 which is supported by the reference. The ATL that made me want to read the article was ATL1. I prefer the lead as it is now and I thank you for the improvement: it presents an introduction of what the reader can expect to learn. Nice job on the article it is well written - and I found it interesting to learn about one of the quirks of the republic... and perhaps one of the reasons for legislative gridlock in the states.

Thanks,
Bruxton, for the quick review and the compliments. Maybe it's just me for the hook choice – now it's up to the promoter.
