From Jan 1809 to Jan 1815, Leib missed 50 of 493 roll call votes, which is 10.1%. This is on par with the median of 14.9% among the lifetime records of senators serving in Jan 1815. The chart below reports missed votes over time.
We don’t track why legislators miss votes, but it’s often due to medical absenses, major life events, and running for higher office.
