35th Congressional Peer Review

Day 1,100, 12:51 • Published in USA USA

• by eUSA Congress

Dearest America,

With our Speaker of the House inactive, I am writing as your current Deputy Speaker of the House, Haliman. SGGHays and I have been tabulating the rankings for the past few days, and have finally finished!

"For those of you who aren't aware what the Congressional Peer Review is, it is simple. Each active member of Congress for the Term is given a survey where they rank their fellow members on a scale of 1-5 (with 1 Being Very Poor and 5 Being Very Well). They are also asked if they would like to see each Individual Congressperson be elected in the future. Lastly, they are asked who they feel was the Congressional MVP (most valuable player) in the Term. All the scores are then tallied and then averaged and you find the results below."

This is the second month we have brought back rankings, and are looking forward to keeping this a monthly tradition!

I was ranked highest this month. Thanks everyone! Really appreciate it 🙂

I'd like to point out that 80% of congress scored above average. That's amazing! We had some big shoes to fill last month, but we did it. 76% of congressmen got above average last month, which is superb!

Congressmen also voted on who they think should be the Congressional MVP this month.

Haliman - 8

SGGHays - 3

Pearlswine - 3

Ligtreb - 2

S3RO - 2

Jasper Signa - 2

Syrup - 1

CRoy - 1

Athanaric - 1

Max Wallingbottom - 1

Thank you for making me your MVP, congress! Looking forward to another term next month 🙂

I have had a great time serving in congress these last two months because of how great they have been.

Great work this month, even with the technical difficulties. I look forward to seeing most of you again next month (hopefully!).

An inactive SoH? UNACCEPTABLE

Nice job putting this together Haliman, and nice job Congress!

My god, I did better than Scrabman. I love you all

Good job Haliman, CRoy as well.

Voted!

Great to see this article. Keep up the tradition.

Next term please publish this on the 22nd, so the party presidents can block the bottom 10 or so from running again to let someone in who might contribute more.

Also is there still attendence taken weekly to set quorum? I would like to see the results of that prior to each election too.

Justin McCravok Day 1,100, 13:32

Woah, Number 7! I can't say I deserve it, the only good thing I really did was /mention/ a possible revival of Arm America...there are people lower then me that deserve to have a higher rank.

Nonetheless, awesome work this term, congress: It's been a pleasure. Here's to a successful next month 😃.

S3RO Day 1,100, 14:02

"80% of congress scored above average"

This is the least impressive statistic in the history of numbers.

CrashNBurn Day 1,100, 14:32

Glad to see this going on. As the creator of the congressional checkup, this makes me very proud/horny

ligtreb Day 1,100, 15:05

Thanks for publishing this.

"80% of congress scored above average"

Thanks for those that supported myself and Haliman...we know it's been a tough month but we've accomplished alot I believe and I'm looking forward to next month already.

IMHO, this review should be done by American citizens. Might encourage Congress as whole and each Congressperson to be more active and much, much more transparent.

The Libertine Day 1,101, 07:26

Yea, CHS, because everyone in the country obviously pays attention to the Congress forum boards.

If you want to do a review, go for it. The peer review is a way for Congress to rank itself, since members are the most likely to know who has worked on what during the term and how hard they worked at it.

I wouldn't pay any attention to the actual scores. The relative rankings are useful and pretty accurate when you add a plus/minus 4 to them. Take it for what it is. Don't complain as if this is claiming to be the definitive scholarly review of every single Congress member. If you want something like that, do it yourself.

SGGHays Day 1,101, 08:30

I would look at this more of whether you're in the top half or bottom half. Decimal point differences mean little, but a 4.5 vs a 2 shows a drastic drop in activity, commenting, offering input and ideas, and being a good congressman in general
