Talk:Third-party and independent members of the United States House of Representatives

Senators
Why isn't senator Angus King not mentioned here??? His page here clearly shows that he's an Independent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sarasotaslim (talk • contribs) 15:04, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

Why does this include senator Bernie Sanders? This is very confusing. --Oolong (talk) 11:12, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Because he was also a member of the House. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  20:32, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

Non-voting Delegates
Do non-voting delegates count for this? I feel that the "spirit of the article" to indicate individuals elected outside of the two major parties. The two who have been elected have been elected are Gregorio Sablan and Victor O. Frazer. I am not counting the delegates for Puerto Rico because they are elected from the island's two major local parties. Thoughts?

Should independents be included in this article?
The page is entitled "Third-party members of the United States House of Representatives". Third-party officeholders and independent officeholders are two different categories. By definition, an independent officeholder is one who is not enrolled in a political party; therefore, he or she is not a third-party officeholder and does not belong on this list. Either the page should be renamed or the references to independent officeholders should be removed (perhaps a new page on independent House members could be created). Thoughts?
