A scene from Lincoln 2012
Edward McPherson

Roll call concludes. Voting is completed. Now—

Schuyler Colfax

Mr. Clerk? Please call my name. I want to cast a vote.

George Pendleton

I object! The Speaker doesn't vote.

Schuyler Colfax

The Speaker may vote if he so chooses.

George Pendleton

It is highly unusual, sir.

Schuyler Colfax

This isn't usual, Mr. Pendleton. This is history.

Edward McPherson

How does Mr. Schuyler Colfax vote?

Schuyler Colfax

Aye, of course.
