Resolutions of theirs that were adopted (1)
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 27 bills they wrote: 1 cleared committee and waits for a first vote, 24 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 223 confirmations to a recorded vote, and confirmed every one.
They voted to confirm 214 and against none, and did not vote on 9. Those votes covered 584 nominees, because the Senate sometimes confirms many in a single vote.
How busy they have been
How many bills they have put their name to over time — volume, not results: most bills never get a vote.
