Political Factoid

Members of congress have unlimited ability
to rewrite the official Congressional Record.
  1. Fully insert the entire text from which excerpts have been
    read or referenced on the floor.
     
  2. Correct transcript errors.
     
  3. Replace what was actually said,
    • with what they had meant to say
    • with what they wished they had said
    • with what they should have said
      (after getting caught in a lie) *
     
    What was actually said,
    as captured on video tape
    and witnessed by viewers of C-SPAN,
    simply does not count.
*  Right, Senator Kyl (R-AZ)?
 
cf. 1468, 886, 887
