Renovation of Speaker's House

The article's lead section says (quote): "His home, known as The Speaker's House, is now a museum and is currently undergoing restoration to restore its appearance during Muhlenberg's occupancy." There is no source, no further mention of the fact further down in this article, and no mention of it in the article on the subject. A google search shows no mention of such an undertaking. At the very least, a reliable source is needed. Then, its relevance for being in the lead section should be evaluated given there is no further discussion of this fact in the article text.

Death and Legacy change

I am removing "After his death, the Township of Muhlenberg, Pennsylvania, was named for him.[citation needed]" from this article. Though Frederick Muhlenberg was part of the Muhlenberg family, the Township of Muhlenberg is actually named after Henry Augustus Muhlenberg according to the Township's website About Us | Muhlenberg Township, PA 73.130.241.246 (talk) 12:41, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

1st and 3rd

I noticed that Muhlenberg is marked at the 1st and 3rd speaker

It seems pretty inconsistent with other speakers like Sam Rayburn and Nancy Pelosi who only have one number at their articles.

Is it supposed to be 1st and 3rd or just 1st? Powerofgamers01 <3 (talk) 04:34, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"the House voted 42–41 against a proposal to translate"

The article says "the House voted 42–41 against a proposal to translate", but the following source describes the vote as part of a motion to adjourn during the middle of deliberations on the proposal, not a vote regarding the proposal itself. The vote on the proposal itself came a month later, failed and was not officially recorded.

“On January 13, 1795, Congress considered a proposal, not to give German any official status, but merely to print the federal laws in German as well as English. During the debate, a motion to adjourn failed by one vote. The final vote rejecting the translation of federal laws, which took place one month later, is not recorded,”
