 The Michigan Republican — a vocal critic of GOP leaders and one of the few Republicans who's lambasted President Donald Trump — missed the vote as he was talking to reporters about his objections to the party's health care bill, which he’s dubbed “Obamacare 2.0.” 
 
 "#MI03, I'm sorry," he tweeted a few hours after the missed vote, referring to his 3rd Congressional DIstrict. But on Friday, that streak ended when he got tied up talking with reporters off the House floor. But on Friday, as he was railing against the GOP's Obamacare replacement bill off the House floor, Amash failed to notice a roll call had just closed. Then he remembered: “Are we still on the first amendment?” 
 
 “I think you’re on the second,” a reporter replied. Amash approached floor staff and leadership to see if they could either re-open the vote or call it again. Amash cries after missing first vote in Congress 
 
 Rep. Justin Amash has long boasted about not missing a single vote since he arrived in Congress in 2011 — 4,289 in a row, give or take a vote, if you're counting.  Rep. Justin Amash is one of the few House members who personally justifies and explains his every vote on his Facebook page for constituents. “I am humbled by the opportunity to serve my constituents and thank God that no personal hardships have kept me from representing them on a single vote since taking office.” 
 
 The missed vote is a sore topic for Amash.
– Rep. Justin Amash was proud of his voting record in the House and rightly so: The Michigan Republican didn't miss a vote for more than six years after taking office in 2011, but his perfect streak ended at 4,289 on Friday when he accidentally missed a vote while talking to reporters, the Hill reports. When Amash realized he had failed to notice a roll call, he raced inside the House chamber but was told voting had already finished. Politico reports that Amash asked House leadership if the vote could be reopened but was told there was no precedent for doing so. He broke down in tears when he realized the streak was over. Amash, a House Freedom Caucus member who had often boasted about his perfect record, missed the vote because he had become engrossed in a conversation about his objections to the ObamaCare replacement bill, though he did pause 10 minutes in to check whether he needed to cast a vote, reports the Hill. Rep. Steve Womack, a Republican from Arkansas, now has the longest voting streak, with 4,294. He issued a statement Friday saying he is "humbled by the opportunity" to serve his constituents and thanks "God that no personal hardships have kept me from representing them on a single vote since taking office."
