This is the number of members of the United States House of Representatives that caucus with the Democrats – in other words, the number of members of the House Democratic Caucus. Typically, this is updated programmatically using the latest numbers from official sources – the House of Representatives Press Gallery and/or the Clerk of the House – only.
Usage
[edit]Simply add this template, without arguments, to where you need to have an updated tally of the Democratic members of the United States House of Representatives. It can be used in article text, as seen below.
| Verbatim text | There are {{HouseDemocraticTally}} members caucusing with the [[Democratic Party (United States)|]] in the House. |
