Voting analysis
One of Steve Scalise's four departures is a vote against a rule resolution his own conference supported. A member of the majority's leadership voting down the terms on which a bill reaches the floor is not the rebellion it looks like. It is very often a parliamentary manoeuvre — voting on the prevailing side of a failing measure preserves the right to move that it be reconsidered — and this page cannot tell you which it was here.
What it can say is that the vote is recorded, that the rule failed, and that a departure count treats it identically to a matter of conviction.

A leader with real bills
The other party's leader has a page on this site where all five displayed filings read as reservations — blocks of bill numbers held back for later use. Scalise's do not. A rescissions act, a firearms interstate commerce measure, an expansion of a national heritage area to take in one more parish, and a post office named for a man elected to this chamber who never took the seat.
Two leadership records, two entirely different pictures, produced by nothing more than whether the reserved numbers had been filled when the data was gathered.
Of the 50 most recent of those, 46 currently sit at Introduced.
Science and technology top his classified subjects, with taxation second.
Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Steve Scalise's cluster into: Science, Technology, Communications (11), Taxation (8), Crime and Law Enforcement (4), Energy (4), Government Operations and Politics (4), Environmental Protection (3).
