Sumario:"Born in Portland, Maine in 1839, Thomas Brackett Reed-the man who gave us "Reed's Rules"-was one of the most consequential figures in the history of American politics. Reed served as Speaker of the House of Representatives from 1889 to 1891 and again from 1895 to 1899. During this time he exercised a legendary leadership role that transformed parliamentary procedure in the United States and dramatically increased the power of the Speaker.
