H.J.Res. 71 · 108th Congress
Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States deeming Presidential nominees to be appointed…
Full title
Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States deeming Presidential nominees to be appointed at the time of nomination subject to disapproval by the Senate within 120 days of receiving the nomination from the President.
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 108th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.
