CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

Senate Roll Call 220

119th Congress · Session 2 · August 5, 2026

The vote on whether to confirm a Presidential appointee

The Senate deciding whether a person the President chose gets the job — a judge, a cabinet secretary, an ambassador. Only the Senate does this; the House has no part in it.
