[edit] Role at Constitutional Convention
I've clarified in the article that Gorham was not "assistant president" of the Convention, serving when George Washington was "unable" to preside. Rather, Gorham acted as chairman when the Convention was assembled into the Committee of the Whole. Under parliamentary practice (and in the United States House of Representatives even today), when the convention resolved into committee, a member other than the President was designated to preside, and at the Constitutional Convention that was generally Gorham.
