Resolutions of theirs that were adopted (8)

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 45 bills they wrote: 2 cleared committee and wait for a first vote, 34 are in committee. Committee is where most bills end, whoever writes them — silence there, not a vote, is the usual way a bill dies.

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 224 recorded votes

  • Yes: 26
  • No: 193
  • Missed: 5

Those votes covered 589 nominees, because the Senate sometimes confirms many in a single vote.
