CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

The President

Donald J. Trump · Republican · since January 20, 2025 · Vice President JD Vance

The President is not a member of Congress, but is part of what it does at three fixed points: every bill both chambers pass goes to the President to sign or veto, every appointment the Senate votes on is the President's nominee, and when the Senate ties, the Vice President breaks it. This page is those three, from Congress's own record — nothing on it comes from the White House. To see how your own members voted on any of it, find who represents you.

What Congress sent the President

A bill becomes law when the President signs it, or after ten days (not counting Sundays) without a signature while Congress is in session. A veto sends it back, and it becomes law only if two-thirds of each chamber vote to pass it anyway. Every bill both chambers passed since January 20, 2025, and what the President did with it.

Of the bills Congress has sent the President since January 20, 2025: 144 became law, 3 are on the President's desk, and 2 were stopped.

The paragraph under each bill and the scores beside it were written by an AI model from the bill's text; the rest is the record.

Became law 144 bills

Passed both chambers and was signed by the President, or became law without a signature.

On the President's desk 3 bills

Passed both chambers in the same form and has been sent to the President.

Vetoed 2 bills

The President’s nominees

Judges, ambassadors, cabinet officers and thousands of military officers are appointed by the President only with the Senate’s approval. Counted from the nominations the Senate received since January 20, 2025.

966 nominations of one person to one post — a judge, an ambassador, a cabinet officer — reached the Senate. Where they stand:

  • Confirmed 605

    The Senate approved the appointment, by a recorded vote or with no one objecting.

  • Withdrawn by the President 75

    The President took the nomination back before the Senate decided it.

  • Sent back without a decision 91

    The Senate sent it back to the President without deciding it, as its rules require of a nomination still waiting at a long recess or the end of a session. The President can send it again.

  • Waiting for the full Senate 38

    A committee has approved it; it waits for the full Senate, which sets no date for most of them.

  • Before a committee 156

    A Senate committee is considering it — holding hearings, or yet to act.

Of the 605 confirmed, 590 took a recorded vote, where every senator's position was written down; the rest were approved with no senator objecting.

Beside those, 1,435 nominations each name many people at once — a list of military promotions, a class of Foreign Service officers — and 1,204 of them were confirmed.

Ties the Vice President broke

The Vice President presides over the Senate and votes only to break a tie. Each of these is a question the Senate split evenly on, settled by the President's running mate.
