[ryparker]

Ben Sasse resigned from the Senate on January 8, 2023, however the API is still returning him as a current member.

Returns:

We've investigated this issue and are creating a ticket to fix it.

It looks like this may have been fixed however it may have introduced a new bug. It looks like when currentMember is set to false the API does not return the prop at all. I had expected it to return "currentMember": false in this scenario.
