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.

Of the bills Congress has sent the President since January 20, 2025: 123 became law, 4 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 law123 billsPassed both chambers and was signed by the President, or became law without a signature.
On the President's desk4 billsPassed both chambers in the same form and has been sent to the President.
Vetoed2 billsThe President refused to sign it and sent it back to Congress.

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.

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

  • Confirmed604

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

  • Withdrawn by the President73

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

  • Sent back without a decision91

    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 Senate33

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

  • Before a committee121

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

Of the 604 confirmed, 589 took a recorded vote, where every senator's position was written down; the rest were approved with no senator objecting.

Beside those, 1,353 nominations each name many people at once — a list of military promotions, a class of Foreign Service officers — and 1,026 of them were confirmed.

Ties the Vice President broke

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