Successful: Sen. Hatch [R-UT], 67 bills enacted since 1987Absent: Rep. Giffords [D-AZ8], 18% votes missed since 2007Unsuccessful: Sen. Schumer [D-NY], 89% of 748 bills died since 1987
The more interesting thing is that Sen. Schumer is unsuccessful for passing 11% of 748 bills, or in other words successfully passing about 82 bills. Sen. Hatch was successful for passing 67 bills. I guess success really is relative.
(Also note that Rep. Giffords leads the pack of absentee congresspeople, missing 18% of the votes. Of course, the fact that 89% of her missed votes occurred this year after she was shot point blank by a lunatic, might be a mitigating factor.)
