Oh, I get that, but if it is a case of mistaken button, I’d be curious to see what they look like, and know why someone hasn’t bothered to clear up that confusion. There has to be money in the budget for it. Buy one less F-35 this year and take care of that.
You got to remember that most of the Capital is stone walled so they used a common wiring duct. So the call buttons have to use that ducting, when they put in the call system, they not only put them where they were needed, but hid them away from people like us. So you can find, most of the time, a small button that looks like a door bell hidden in places like moldings and frames. I wouldn’t have any idea what the one closest to the House minority cloak room might look like. Those that call trains are big, I remember that.
The reason they’re needed is that members go back to their offices and when a vote is coming up they hit the button. It sends a toned alert to the offices. Then the members scurry to the floor, and as they do they can get priority calls on elevators etc. By hitting a call button.

Ha! You just want to push the button like I did!

All of this context is incredibly interesting. Thank you for sharing.
Interesting! And yes…
