Passed Congress — the President's turn (1)

Both chambers passed it. The President signs it into law or vetoes it, and a veto stands unless two-thirds of each chamber vote to pass it anyway. Everything Congress has sent the President →

Passed one chamber, waiting on the other (14)

Halfway: the other chamber has to pass the same text before it can go to the President.

Resolutions of theirs that were adopted (4)

A resolution is a chamber speaking for itself — a position, a rule or a tribute. Adopting it puts it into effect, but it is not a law.

Still waiting, of the 37 bills they wrote: 3 cleared committee and wait for a first vote, 27 are in committee. Committee is where most bills end, whoever writes them — silence there, not a vote, is the usual way a bill dies.

Every vote they cast, and how often they missed one →

On the President’s nominees

The President chooses federal judges, cabinet secretaries, ambassadors and military officers, and the Senate decides whether each one gets the job. Most are confirmed by voice vote, which records no one’s position. In the 119th Congress (2025–2026) the Senate put 224 confirmations to a recorded vote, and confirmed every one.

Their votes to confirm, of the 207 recorded votes held while they served

  • Yes: 184
  • No: None
  • Missed: 23

Those votes covered 481 nominees, because the Senate sometimes confirms many in a single vote.
