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 221 and against none, and did not vote on 2. Those votes covered 591 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.
