Has a member of Congress ever been Deaf?
And I don't want any shots at them about not listening to the American people, just a straight up answer. Has an American Congressman (woman) ever not been able to hear? If so who was it and when did s/he serve?
Thanks

There has never been a deaf member of congress. There have been several deaf British and Canadian MPs but never a member of the US Congress.

On a similar note, there has been several members of Congress who were blind.

Is this a trick question?

It's possible that the disability was kept hidden. So we may never know.
